Building Dynamics 365 Bots with Azure Bot Framework and LUIS

 Conversations as a platform have been touted by companies including Microsoft and Facebook as the next generation of software user interface. With the introduction of publicly accessible frameworks for building chat bots that can be accessed via everything from Email to Skype to SMS, Dynamics CRM is perfectly poised to take advantage of this new way of interfacing. In this session we’ll demonstrate how to build a Bot that interacts with CRM using plain language commands and provide developers with an open source solution to get started building their own next generation user interfaces.

In this session you'll learn how to create a PowerApp that will read and write data to Dynamics 365. We will build a PowerApp that will read cases and related activities. Once we have the ability to view our cases activities we will enable the ability to create a related task. Throughout the session we will discuss the benefits and challenges of the Dynamics 365 connector within Powerapps.

Using the Scrum framework to manage a Dynamics 365 deployment requires a fresh approach to estimating and planning your project. In this session, Neil Benson will outline his six step process to agile estimating and planning that he uses on his Dynamics 365 projects.

The high-level steps are:

1. Determine user roles and primary goals
2. Describe the epics for each user role
3. Estimate the epics
4. Estimate the team’s velocity
5. Prioritise the epics into releases
6. Examine the total release plan

 We’ll dive into these steps in the session using an example project so that you can see how to apply them in practice.
