Power BI Growing Pains?

If you’re experiencing any of the following, then it may be time to assess your Power BI data and analytics landscape.

  • Users lack confidence in the accuracy of the numbers from Power BI and therefore are not using it as the single-source-of-truth
  • There are issues with report performance being slow and data refreshes failing
  • Users are creating and sharing their own reports but there are no established controls or governance and you’re questioning aspects such as risk and security
  • You’re not sure the dashboards and reports are being built to best practices
  • Your Power BI environment is owned by one or two users, and they have either left or you want to get a handle on whether it’s been done properly with sufficient documentation
