(Livestream Replay) Creating a Measurement Framework - with Tommy Puglia

DESCRIPTION 📄

Let's face it. too many of our reporting solutions do not have the impact we expect, and it usually comes down to what we are measuring. Too many organizations may not be measuring the rights things and measuring them the right way. So how do we frame and move teams, users, and organizations to measure their metrics the right way, the way that causes impact? Tommy introduces the Measurement Framework, a project based plan that works with organizations and teams on calibrating their metrics to direct impact.

(Livestream Replay) Supercharge your Power BI Monitoring with Argus PBI - with Greg Baldini

DESCRIPTION 📄

You need to know what's going on in your Power BI tenant. There is a wealth of information available in the Power BI Admin APIs, data to support all sorts of operational monitoring and analytics: unified refresh monitoring, cross-workspace report usage, end-to-end security lineage (who can see what sources, who has actually viewed data from those), datasource refresh utilization (are you slamming one database with dozens of refreshes at 8am every day?), and so much more. Busy Power BI Administrators and Operators need this information, and they can't wait for it. Argus PBI provides turnkey whole-tenant monitoring.

Join Argus cofounder Greg Baldini as he shows off the insights available when you combine data available from those APIs.

GUEST BIO 👤

He slices! He dices! When it comes to Power BI, Greg Baldini does it all. And he is here to show you how to, too! Cofounder of Argus PBI, cofounder and editor at Power BI Ops, and Senior Analytics Consultant at FirstLight Analytics, I keep myself busy advancing the conversation and practice of operating Power BI effectively at scale. My career has been spent in data and consulting, spanning industries and business domains. Of particular note and pride this year: 2023 is my decade of DAX, which seems a fun anniversary to celebrate.
