(Livestream Replay) Uncovering Secrets and Mysteries in your Power BI Tenant - with Benni De Jagere

Microsoft Power BI is all the rage, with enterprise and user adoption soaring year after year. New users get onboarded, reports, models, dashboards, dataflows, …get created and tweaked every day. Whoa, things must be going great if we have so many things happening every day! Right?

And yet, as the usage skyrockets in our organization, it's crucial to keep a solid oversight of the artifacts and activities generated by our colleagues. All too often, organizations have procedures, governance models, methodologies, and more in place, without having a structural way of making sure it actually works for the business processes. Enabling the business to make their decision on usage information for their artifacts will assist them in making informed decisions. Making sure this information gets to Data Stewards (workspace owners) is often left untouched, as there's no ready to go solution out there.

This chat will focus on a Self-Service Power BI model and report, where users can follow up on activities performed on artifacts in their zone of control.

GUEST BIO 👤

Benni De Jagere is a Program Manager in the Power BI Customer Advisory Team at Microsoft. On a daily basis he turns (large amounts) of coffee into insights for customers, and references witty British comedy, lame dad jokes, and obscure facts way too often. Overly enthusiastic about anything data related, he’s trying hard to keep up with all things new and shiny. Loving (almost) every day of it, he’s fascinated by the value of data, sometimes flabbergasted by the lack of awareness, and intrigued by the endless possibilities whilst discovering new ways of looking at data. He thrives on unfolding new insights for customers whilst using an open and transparent communication.
