The CoE Starter Kit Is Gone: What the Power Platform Admin Center Doesn't Cover

Diesen Beitrag auf Deutsch lesen

A timeline of the CoE Starter Kit's end of life and nine governance gaps the Power Platform Admin Center doesn't fill.

TL;DR

The CoE Starter Kit’s monthly releases stopped in February 2026 and Microsoft confirmed in May it won’t get new features — it was always a community accelerator maintained outside normal support, not an official product, and there’s no formal deprecation notice or migration deadline. Microsoft points to the Power Platform Admin Center instead, but PPAC tells you what exists, not whether it’s a risk: shadow IT detection, ownership-transfer workflows, cross-tenant visibility and DLP-violation alerting are gaps it doesn’t cover.

Governance takeaway

  • Admins/CoE: list which of the Starter Kit’s now-unfilled gaps — shadow IT detection, ownership-transfer workflows, cross-tenant visibility, DLP-violation alerting — governance actually depends on today, since that list is the real migration plan, not a single replacement tool.
  • Security/Compliance: flag the DLP-violation alerting gap specifically, since PPAC shows policy state, not who has actually broken a policy.
  • Leadership/Business: treat the missing formal deprecation notice or deadline as no reason to wait, since Microsoft has already confirmed no new features are coming.
