Today, there are lots of beginner's “How-to” videos on Microsoft Power Apps but hardly do we find resources on the thinking that goes into planning such a project.

According to TeamStage:

70% of projects fail.

The percentage of projects that fail is fairly high — a whopping 70% of all projects fail to deliver what was promised to customers. The implementation of a management process, however, is shown to reduce the failure rate to 20% or below.

You definitely don’t want your project to fail. Interestingly, most of the failed projects were not planned to fail.

Knowing how to plan a Canvas App Development project will help you think about the end from the beginning hence, reducing the number of failed projects.

In this video, we will be sharing with you what to pay attention to starting from the Requirement workshop, wireframing, theming, and branding, to accessibility, and many more.

During Your requirement Workshop Process, pay attention to the following
