GUEST BIO 👤

"Don't say something cannot be done, or someone who doesn't know will come and do it.". This motto describes me very well. I would say because I am trying to find a path even on fields where paths shouldn't be. I'm the MVP of Data Platform (Power BI) and a co-founder of a company called DataBrothers, where I work as a Lead technical consultant. Primarily I am working with Microsoft Power Platform Technologies (Power BI, Flow / Automate, and PowerApps) and am the Author of the Czech PBI blog Jakna Power BI (translated "How to Power BI").

(Livestream Replay) Report/Dataset Lifecycle Management for Power BI with Greg Baldini

ABSTRACT 📄

Everyone is familiar with the NASA countdown. T-minus-10, 9, 8... Anyone who has ever built a Power BI report knows how to publish that report. But ground control has a lot of work to do after liftoff. And a Power BI pro's work does not stop after they hit the 'Publish' button. The name for that work is operations. As Power BI matures, it is critical that we spend time and effort on operations. This work comprises monitoring, maintenance, user support, ongoing development, and change management among other things. Let's kick start the conversation around Power BI operations:
• What to do
• Out of the box features
• Tools you can build and buy to support operations in your organization
