The Complete Power Platform Pipelines ALM Setup Guide

Welcome to The Complete Power Platform Pipelines ALM Setup Guide.

In this guide you will learn how to setup Power Platform Pipelines and the Dataverse Git Integration. I have spent the past 5 years teaching Power Platform ALM best-practices and using them in my own projects. Now I want to share the knowledge I’ve gained in this set of easy-to-understand, practical instructions.

Power Apps Pipelines already have official documentation by Microsoft. So why did I make my own? A few reasons:

  • I wanted a guided-tutorial that anyone could understand which includes clear directions and lots of pictures.
  • This tutorial can be continuously improved as new Power Apps Pipelines & ALM features hit “general availability”
  • Readers can leave comments on my website describing their own best practices which I can incorporate into future versions


I hope you enjoy my Complete Power Platform Pipelines ALM Setup Guide.


Note: Each week a new section of this guide will be released per the schedule below. Or you can get it now by downloading a free pdf copy.
