Agentic coding tools are changing what's possible for Business Central functional consultants, but only if you know how to use them like a seasoned developer, not a lucky guesser.
In this session, I'll teach you my Agentic Development Framework for Functional Consultants: a structured, repeatable approach to directing AI coding tools the way you'd direct a skilled developer, with clear standards, guardrails, and accountability. At the center of the framework is the AL PTE Development Standards Guide: a template built on professional AL development principles, with fill-in-the-blanks fields for your naming conventions, object ID ranges, and coding rules. This gives both you and your AI tools an unambiguous blueprint before a single line of code is written.
I come from a NAV/BC functional consulting background, spent time on the dark side as a certified NAV developer, and each year at Community Summit I co-teach a 3-day AL development bootcamp with a fellow Microsoft MVP and full-time professional developer. I've packed the best of that experience into this framework so you'll be developing with AI like the pros, not flying by the seat of your pants.
Best of all, the framework and the AL PTE Development Standards Guide are entirely free for the community to adopt and use.
