Introducing Dynamics 365 and CDS Design Best Practices Blog Series

I'm introducing a short blog series on Dynamics 365 and CDS design best practices that should be applied to any organization. These design approaches are not just for Dynamics 365 but can be applied to any business use case that involves software.

This series will cover the following approaches and is based upon the Approaching a User Experience whitepaper provided by Microsoft. This whitepaper covers many more topics than just design best practices and can be applied to any user experience.
