Session Details
It is easy to get started with Power BI, but as soon as reports are shared, a new challenge arises: Managing your Power BI environment. Certainly when more and more colleagues - independently of each other - start building reports. If you are not careful, you lose control over, security, governance, privacy, data quality and metadata. This all comes at the expense of the quality of the reports and analyses.
The training is intended for anyone who manages Power BI environment(s). These can be admins, but certainly also people responsible for governance, developers and consultants who have to help their organization set up a Power BI environment.

Merging Power BI into Azure Devops
From a development perspective Power BI gives you some challenges you can't overcome easily. When you and your team are continuously working on Power BI files, you need a central location, to keep track of changes, find differences between versions, check out files and deploy in an easy way.
In this sessions we will see how Azure DevOps helps you with versioning, CI/CD-pipelines and tracking changes in datamodels.
