Dynamics 365 Finance & Operations Design Lab

Live Demo

https://d365-fo-design-lab.vercel.app


Overview

Dynamics365 F&O Design Lab is a browser-based visual collaboration tool designed specifically for Microsoft Dynamics 365 Finance & Operations consultants, solution architects, and development teams.

It allows teams to transform abstract UI requirements into precise, visual implementation instructions using authentic Dynamics 365 Form Designer controls.


Problem

In Dynamics 365 implementation projects, UI requirements are often communicated through:

  • Long requirement documents
  • Screenshots from live environments
  • Verbal explanations in meetings
  • Email descriptions of layout and behavior

This leads to:

  • Misinterpretation between consultants and developers
  • Inefficient workshops
  • Delayed development cycles
  • Lack of visual clarity in requirements
