Understanding how that time is spent can help you plan who you need on your team and find the highest-impact opportunities to streamline the administrative effort.<\/p>\n<p>We\u2019ve put together a simple solution (Power Platform Administration Planning) that is designed to help you better:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Plan your team structure<\/li>\n<li>Review where you spend time and look for automation or innovation opportunities<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>The solution is built on Microsoft Dataverse and is a new stand-alone component in the CoE Starter Kit. Admin tasks are defined in a model-driven app and insights are provided in a Power BI dashboard.<\/p>\n<p>You can start either by adding your own tasks or by importing a set of example tasks from an Excel spreadsheet, populated with some of the most common administration tasks covering:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>AI Builder<\/li>\n<li>Environments and connectors<\/li>\n<li>Power Apps<\/li>\n<li>Power Automate<\/li>\n<li>Power Pages<\/li>\n<li>Power Virtual Agents<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>You\u2019ll need to review the tasks and populate task metadata to get the best out of the Power BI dashboard.<\/p>\n<h2>Plan your team structure<\/h2>\n<p>If you\u2019re getting started, you might find importing the sample tasks spreadsheet a great starting point for inspiration. Where possible, we added in the most common administrative tasks that administrators perform and supplied links to supporting\/ instructional documentation.<\/p>\n<p>Task metadata is used by the dashboard to provide useful information about your team structure and the level of expertise required to complete your administrative work.<\/p>\n<h2>Review where you spend time<\/h2>\n<p>You may already be administrating the platform and looking for ways to <a href=\"https:\/\/docs.microsoft.com\/power-platform\/guidance\/adoption\/maturity-model-details\">increase your maturity<\/a>, looking for automation or innovation opportunities.<\/p>\n<p>When you add your own estimation of which tasks you need, how much time you\u2019ll spend doing them, and who will do them, the dashboard will indicate if the size of your team is sufficient, roles and experience levels and an estimate of how much time to expect to spend administering the platform. After your team has been doing the work for a while, you can update with the exact data.<\/p>\n<h2>Admin tasks in the model driven app<\/h2>\n<p>Tasks can be imported from the sample spreadsheet or manually created.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1378\" height=\"814\" alt=\"Screenshot of the model driven app, listing administrative tasks.\" class=\"wp-image-21164\" src=\"https:\/\/www.microsoft.com\/en-us\/power-platform\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/screenshot-of-the-model-driven-app-listing-admini.png\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.microsoft.com\/en-us\/power-platform\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/screenshot-of-the-model-driven-app-listing-admini.webp 1378w, https:\/\/www.microsoft.com\/en-us\/power-platform\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/screenshot-of-the-model-driven-app-listing-admini-300x177.webp 300w, https:\/\/www.microsoft.com\/en-us\/power-platform\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/screenshot-of-the-model-driven-app-listing-admini-1024x605.webp 1024w, https:\/\/www.microsoft.com\/en-us\/power-platform\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/screenshot-of-the-model-driven-app-listing-admini-768x454.webp 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1378px) 100vw, 1378px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Tasks have the following schema:<\/p>\n<table>\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td><strong>Column<\/strong><\/td>\n<td><strong>Description<\/strong><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Name<\/td>\n<td>A brief description of the task.
