What’s happening?
The customer is experiencing challenges with citizen developers who do not adhere to coding standards or produce non-compliant code within the default environment. They are seeking a Microsoft-recommended tool or technique to enforce coding standards, scan for code issues, and notify developers or admins about potential bugs.
 

Reason:
The underlying cause is the lack of control over citizen developers' activities, leading to non-compliance with coding standards and the use of unsupported connectors.
 

Resolution:

  • Utilize the following Microsoft tools to enforce coding standards and monitor user activities:
    • Solution Checker: This tool can help identify issues in the code but has limitations in providing comprehensive monitoring.
    • Power Platform Build Tools: These tools can assist in automating the build and deployment processes, ensuring adherence to standards.
    • Power Platform CLI: This command-line interface can be used for various tasks, including code scanning and management.
  • Implement a governance Center of Excellence (CoE) to manage citizen developers effectively and monitor their activities.
  • Follow up with the sales team for additional resources and support regarding the implementation of these tools.
  • Continue discussions with relevant stakeholders regarding contract hours and project workshops to ensure proper governance and resource allocation.
  • Engage a Cloud Solution Architect (CSA) to provide additional support.
