  2. 02
    Business Process Flows — Confusing business process flows with cloud flows and not knowing when to use each for process automation scenarios.
  3. 03
    App Types — Struggling to choose between model-driven apps and canvas apps for different user experience requirements.
  4. 04
    Security Roles — Overlooking Dataverse security roles, business units, and team configurations for data access control.
  5. 05
    Environment Strategy — Not understanding environment management, solution layering, and ALM practices for Power Platform deployments.
