PL-100 study plan

Map the PL-100 domain weights to your own skill gaps and rank the three domains by personal weakness.

Create a free Microsoft Power Platform Developer environment and confirm you can sign in to Power Apps, Power Automate, and Dataverse.

Build a Dataverse table with at least three column types (text, choice, lookup) and explain when a lookup beats a text field.

Describe the difference between a solution, a publisher, and an environment, and record your answers in a one-page note.

Model a two-table relationship with a lookup column and set a real business rule on the child table.

Configure column-level security or a simple security role that restricts access to one table.

Create a canvas app connected to your Dataverse table and add a form for create and edit.

Explain how managed and unmanaged solutions differ when moving between environments.

Design a model-driven app over your Dataverse tables and customize the main form and view.

Add a business process flow with at least three stages to the model-driven app.

Identify the licensing and capacity implications of your design choices in a short written summary.

Test the app as a second user with a restricted security role and document the results.

Build a Power Automate cloud flow that triggers on a Dataverse row creation and sends a notification.

Add an approval step to the flow and handle the rejected branch explicitly.

Connect Power BI Desktop to your Dataverse data and build a first table visual.

Write a short design review of your solution covering naming, solution layering, and error handling.

Build a data model in Power BI with at least three tables and a proper star-schema relationship.

Write DAX measures for year-to-date totals and a year-over-year comparison.

Create a report with a bar chart, a card, a slicer, and a matrix, and format each for readability.

Explain the difference between a calculated column and a measure and when each is appropriate.

Add a second report page with drill-through from a summary visual to detail rows.

Configure row-level security in the dataset and verify it with the role-testing feature.

Set up a scheduled refresh or a manual refresh workflow and document the credential setup.

Apply accessibility practices: alt text, tab order, and sufficient color contrast.

Build a Power Apps component or a reusable canvas component and use it on two screens.

Create a custom connector or use an existing connector to call an external service from a flow.

Add error handling to a flow using a scope, a configure-run-after branch, and a termination action.

Optimize one slow app screen by reducing data calls and document the before-and-after timing.

Assemble a single solution containing your app, flow, tables, and report and export it as managed.

Run a timed 50-question practice set and review every missed item by domain.

Rewrite your weakest three topics into one-page summaries from memory.

Complete a final readiness checklist covering each domain's objectives.
