Delegation in Canvas Apps
A couple of weeks ago I found an empty slot in my diary, and I (dangerously) thought “I know, I’ll brush up on my Canvas app skills!”.

Expect Dataverse Deployments To Fail First Time
Whilst the process of deployment hasn’t changed too much since the days of Dynamics CRM, one thing that has changed significantly is the volume of possible components that can be included in a solution file. Not only is this due to an increase of readily-available functionality from Microsoft, but also by the ability for endContinue reading “Expect Dataverse Deployments To Fail First Time”

The Power Of A Great User Story
For anyone that personally knows me, they will know that I am absolutely obsessed with getting User Stories right! On the face of it, it may seem impossible to deliver part of a business process from one single sentence, but user stories are one of the best tools you can use, right from your initialContinue reading “The Power Of A Great User Story”
