A CoE is a framework or team responsible for managing governance, innovation, and adoption of Power Platform across the organization.

Power Apps, Power Automate, Power BI, and Power Virtual Agents are the core components that enable low-code app development, automation, analytics, and AI-based chatbots.

Common use cases include approval workflows, dashboards, help desk apps, HR onboarding systems, customer feedback portals, and chatbot assistants.

You create solutions in the Power Platform using environments, apps, flows, and data connectors. CoE tools help manage lifecycle and governance.
