Challenge 19 "Call Centre Data Reporting" - Wrap up

Hello All,

I trust that you are keeping well!

Challenge 19 didn’t fail to deliver and there were some epic entries!!!, challenge 19 yielded the highest number of entries recorded in any previous Enterprise DNA Challenge.

A total of 55 entries, 200+ report analysis pages and 150+ navigation buttons, bookmarks and tool tips were produced by our particiapants. The variety of native and customs visuals in the reports are a mastery of Data Visualization.

The idea sharing, collaboration, encouragement, feedback and willingness to help each other is brilliant to see and truly resonates with what we at Enterprise believe is the best way to learn and develop.

The standard of work from everyone was amazing.

If any of you have any suggestions or feedback we are always keen to hear so please do let us know.

All,

This was a post I made on LinkedIn this morning following the announcement of the Challenge 19 winners and runners up. Congratulations to all - not just those recognized, but everyone who participated. I am certain every one of you (definitely myself included) is substantially more skilled at Power BI than we were on the day this challenge started, and that’s a huge win for each of us.

The Enterprise DNA Data Challenges are difficult. They are meant to be. They mimic as closely as possible real-world data, issues and situations, and producing a very high-quality Power BI report in the real world is tough. I have participated in 15 of the 19 eDNA challenges and not once did I ever think “well, that was easier than I thought it would be”.

This is why I have huge respect for everyone who puts themself out publicly in a data challenge, and want to give a particular shoutout to the many first-time entrants we had for this challenge.

Almost to a person, everyone who particpates in data challenges will tell you that this is the absolute best and fastest way to improve your Power BI skills, and that it’s also a lot of fun. So I am always interested in talking with people about why they choose not to participate.

One of the reasons I hear most frequently is that “I could never produce a report on par with those that come out of the eDNA Challenges”. To which I always reply:

a) “who cares? The only person you’re truly competing against is the person you started out as at the beginning of the challenge. If you finish the challenge better than that person, you win”

b) “maybe not at this moment you can’t, but keep at it and you absolutely can”

So by now if you haven’t already, you’ve probably guessed that the report on the left below is Abu Bakar Alvi’s first eDNA Challenge submission, circa August 2020. I’m not saying it’s a bad report - it’s most certainly not, and shows many of the solid fundamentals and attention to detail that led @alexbadiu to declare @Alvi’s current entry as “perfect!”.

But there is also 0% chance that August 2020 Alvi could have produced the report on the right. However, he took the jump, put himself out there, listened intently to the feedback given, studied his entries and those of others, and after 18 months of “sharpening his axe”, took one perfect swing, and with it took down Challenge 19 as the clear winner.

That, my friends, is something very much worth celebrating and absolutely within the grasp of everyone who participates in these fantastic challenges.

Hope to see you in Challenge 20…

My most sincere congratulations. The interest, effort and insights in your report do not deserve any less than a winning title.

Best wishes,
