Operating model
Owners, intake and a review rhythm, so the platform stays governed after we leave.
18checks
In short
Operating model is one of the 11 core modules in The Governor, Ustrema's governance app for Microsoft Power Platform, Copilot Studio and agents. It runs 18 checks every week to answer one question: Who owns Power Platform here? Every failing check becomes a finding with an owner, closed with Power Platform admin center, Managed Environments.
The question it answers
Who owns Power Platform here?
What it measures
Each of the 18 checks looks for patterns like these, in every environment, every week:
- Ownerless apps, flows and agents
- No intake or approval for new agents
- No owner for the credit budget
- No naming standard or review rhythm
What you get
Once the findings are closed and the controls are in place, your tenant has:
- A RACI that the business signs
- Intake and approval for apps and agents
- A review rhythm that runs without us
Microsoft services it works with
The Governor checks that these Microsoft controls are on, and our experts configure them:
- Power Platform admin center
- Managed Environments
