=== Fusion Team personas ===
[[Fusion Teams]] is a concept often mentioned during Microsoft events. When Business Users and Developers work together in order to create Business Applications a so called Fusion Team is formed. There is a Microsoft Learn learning path about Fusion Teams and in the beginning Thereses a chapter ”Meet the Team”, which introduced the following roles: Full-stack developer, Office Manager, people from the business, different departements e.g. Inventory Management in the example, Lead Technician, IT responsible.
== Roles ==
You often see <i> Citizen Developer</i> vs. <i>Professional Developer</i>. The Citizen Developer is usually someone at an organization who knows the business and who uses low-code tools to create business applications which support business processes, takes away manual work
and make the business more productive. A Professional Developer typically is someone who writes code using an IDE (integrated development environment) and writes traditional code and extends with code where the low-code takes you no further.
A <i>Maker</i> is someone who uses the low-code tools and create apps, chat bots, automations etc.
An <i>Admin</i> typically manages environments, settings and Users etc.

First there were [[Microsoft Dynamics CRM]]. Then came [[Microsoft Dynamics 365]] Customer Engagement (CE). Then came Power Apps and the former Microsoft Dynamics CRM/365 became customer engagement (model-driven) apps, built on Power Platform. These apps are also referred to as first-party model apps. Examples are [[Dynamics 365 Sales]] and [[Dynamics 365 Customer Service]]. The on-premise version still goes under the name Dynamics 365 CE.
