Episode 5 explores the accelerating pace of change in Dynamics 365 and Power Platform, the challenges of managing constant updates, and the human side of navigating transformation fatigue. The speakers reflect on the shift from a few changes per year to weekly updates, how this creates new forms of technical debt, and the importance of community, partners, and structured release planning. They also discuss coping with FOMO, strategies for knowledge-sharing inside teams, and practical approaches to training and enablement—from lunch-and-learns to hands-on labs and champion programs. The conversation highlights both the frustrations and opportunities of working in a fast-moving ecosystem shaped by AI and continuous innovation.
