  • Welcome to the new ALM guide
  • Introduction

Introduction

So many things have changed, and others will also change in the coming months and years, since I started writing the old posts about ALM, that I felt I had to write a new guide from scratch instead of amending the existing articles.

The old guide covers pretty much everything needed to have a healthy ALM for your Dynamics 365 Finance and Operations projects, and most of it can still be used with no changes… except maybe some cosmetic changes on Azure DevOps 😅

With the new Unified development and administration experiences, we’re going to get a new set of tools for our projects:

  • PPAC (say goodbye to LCS)
  • Power Platform tools for DevOps
  • The new “local” development experience
  • Use Git in a very straightforward way
  • Deploy to production from a release pipeline… yes, you read well, “deploy to production”, that’s correct 😁

The articles in this new guide include step-by-step guides of all of the above, written from scratch and with updated screenshots. Initially, it will only cover the F&O side, but my plan is to get to show a fully unified ALM where you automate both the ERP and Dataverse projects.

Welcome and be ready to learn a lot!
