Power Platform Adoption Accelerator: Build Real Solutions While You Learn

Power Platform changes quickly. Your training should too.

The Power Platform Adoption Accelerator combines always-current Knowledge Accelerators (KA) microlearning with hands-on activities that help users build and test real solutions as they learn. Journeys—in-app guidance powered by Newired—provide step-by-step support, while organization-specific governance tips help users follow company policies as they build.

The result: current skills, governed solutions, and real work accomplished through learning.

From Learning to Real Work

Traditional training teaches users what to do, then expects them to apply it later.

The Accelerator brings learning and doing together so people develop practical skills while completing meaningful Power Platform work.

Outcomes at a glance

Build Practical Skills

Learn with short, focused content that reflects the Power Platform users work with today.

Create Real Solutions

Apply each new skill in hands-on activities based on practical business scenarios.

Apply Governance

Follow organization-specific policies and standards while building—not after the work is complete.

Test with Confidence

Create, test, and validate solutions as part of the structured learning experience.

How the Accelerator Works

KA microlearning, hands-on activities, Journeys, governance guidance, and testing work as one connected experience. As users move from a hands-on activity into Power Platform, its corresponding Journey provides step-by-step guidance while they build, apply governance, and test their work.

  1. In KA microlearning

    1

    Learn

    Build knowledge with always-current microlearning that keeps pace with Power Platform and Copilot Studio.

  2. In Power Platform

    2

    Build

    Move into Power Platform to apply each new skill and progressively create a solution based on a real-world scenario.

  3. In Power Platform

    3

    Follow a Journey

    Use the corresponding Journey for step-by-step in-app guidance while building the solution—not only after building it.

  4. In Power Platform

    4

    Apply Governance

    Use organization-specific tips to follow company policies and standards in the flow of work.

  5. In Power Platform

    5

    Test

    Validate the solution and learn how to improve it before the work is complete.

Users do more than watch a demonstration: they build and test a solution while developing practical Power Platform skills.

Copilot Studio

Build Better Agents with Copilot Studio

Learn to build agents by building them

Copilot Studio users need more than an introduction to features. They need to:

  • ✓Recognize when an agent is appropriate
  • ✓Design it around a business need
  • ✓Combine capabilities
  • ✓Apply organizational governance
  • ✓Test what they create

The Accelerator develops those skills through practical scenarios that progress from foundational knowledge to hands-on agent building and more advanced capabilities.

The goal is not simply to teach Copilot Studio. It is to help users build useful, tested, and governed agents.

The same model supports agreed scenarios across Power Apps and Power Automate, creating a consistent approach to Power Platform adoption.

Graphic placeholder: Copilot Studio in action

What to show: A real Copilot Studio screenshot from one of the Accelerator's agent-building scenarios (for example, an HR policy Q&A agent part-built), with the Newired Journey step bubble open and pointing to the current action, such as adding a knowledge source or a topic.

Why: It proves users build an actual agent with guidance, rather than watching a feature demo.

Specs: About 1000 × 750, keep the full Journey bubble and the button it points to in frame, no cropped interface text. Alt text: name the scenario and the step shown.

What Your Organization Gets

Learn

Always-Current Microlearning

Short, focused KA courses continually updated as Power Platform and Copilot Studio evolve.

Build

Hands-On Building Activities

Real-world scenarios that let users apply new skills and create solutions while they learn.

Guide

Journeys

Step-by-step in-app guidance powered by Newired that supports users as they build in Power Platform.

Govern

Organization-Specific Governance Tips

Guidance aligned with your policies and standards, available in the Power Platform overlay while users work.

Test

Guided Building and Testing

A structured experience in which users create, test, and validate what they build.

Measure

Adoption Measurement

Learning, Journey, usage, adoption, and agreed business measures that reveal progress and improvement opportunities.

Graphic placeholder: Governance tip in the flow of work

What to show: A close-up of Power Platform with one organization-specific governance tip open in the overlay, at the moment it matters. Example: a user naming a new app or choosing an environment, and the tip shows the company naming standard or approved-environment rule.

Why: It makes “governance in the flow of work” concrete in one glance. Use a sample company name and policy text, not a real customer’s.

Specs: Portrait or square, about 800 × 900, tip text readable at page size. Alt text: quote the tip shown and the screen it appears on.

Governance in the Flow of Work

Help users build the right way from the start

Governance policies create value when people apply them. Instead of expecting users to remember every requirement or leave Power Platform to find a policy, the Accelerator brings organization-specific guidance into the work itself.

Environment and Naming

Naming standards, approved environments, and related practices.

Ownership and Documentation

Ownership expectations and documentation requirements.

Connectors, Data, and Security

Connector policies plus data-handling and security requirements.

Testing and Publishing

Required practices for validating, publishing, and maintaining solutions.

Your organization defines the policies. The Accelerator helps users apply them as they build.

Measure More Than Course Completion

Understand what users engage with and accomplish

Course completion shows that someone finished training. It does not necessarily show whether they can apply what they learned. Depending on the scenario and available customer data, the Accelerator can bring together a broader set of indicators.

Learning

Learning Participation

Microlearning participation, completion, and hands-on activity engagement.

Guidance

Journey Engagement

Interaction with the in-app guidance that supports users while they build.

Usage

Platform Adoption

Relevant Power Platform usage information and agreed adoption measures.

Impact

Business Outcomes

Measures established during success planning to connect enablement with organizational goals.

These insights help identify where additional learning, guidance, or reinforcement may be needed.

Support that keeps pace with Power Platform

Keep Learning as the Platform Evolves

Power Platform and Copilot Studio continue to change. KA microlearning evolves with them, giving users an ongoing resource for learning new capabilities or refreshing existing skills. Users can then return to Journeys and governance guidance as they build something new.

↻ Platform changes

Power Platform and Copilot Studio add new capabilities.

↻ Microlearning updates

Users learn what’s new or refresh existing skills.

↻ Users build again

Journeys and governance guidance support the next solution.

Training becomes an ongoing resource for completing work—not a one-time event.

Turn Learning into Real Power Platform Work

People should not have to finish learning before they begin doing. The Power Platform Adoption Accelerator helps them build real solutions, apply governance, test their work, and accomplish something meaningful while they learn.
