A Fusion Team is a team within an organization where citizen developers (people who are business experts within different areas that the organization operate in) and pro developers work together.

Fusion Teams and Power Platform
Often Pro Developer tasks are described as creating APIs, generating Custom Connectors for everyone to use in their Power Apps (Canvas Apps) and Power Automate cloud flows as well as building custom components using the Power Apps Component Framework. What is not mentioned is developing plugins, custom workflows and client side scripts (JavaScript/TypeScript). Still those parts are common in projects. Power Automate cloud flows are recommended instead of classic workflows nowadays though and in the future we will have the possibility to use the low-code language Power Fx when we need to extend our solution with a plugin as well as in our model-driven apps (for what parts in the model-driven apps - the future will tell).
