I’d like to have a forum group to discuss how you run your BI projects as a whole, including the Power BI work and everything around it, for questions around things like:
Strategic and technical decisions, e.g. do you build a data warehouse in a specific project, or do you use only Power Query and Power BI, and what were your criteria
Collaboration in the project, how do you work together on Power BI projects, how do you do versioning/configuration management, etc.
Roles and competencies: Are you the consultant, DWH designer, ETL builder, visual designer etc. all in one person or do you have specialists, and what competencies do you combine in one person
Project Management, e.g. budget, estimation, stakeholders in your Power BI projects
What size and duration were your Power BI projects?
Is there already a place where such questions would fit in?
Hi @Martin, Thank you for providing us a very good insight into group discussion in Power BI. We recently launched the Forum Survey, which enables us to review the members’ feedback and the improvement needed in the forum. We will greatly appreciate if you can answer the User Experience Survey and rest assured that all your inputs will be well recognized.
Yes this is a super idea Martin, and something we’ve been thinking a lot about.
We are working on many more updates and functionality.
In the meantime I would post a thread into the forum and look for some collaboration, especially for the experts, around the things you mentioned above.
We’ll keep working away at some further updates and hopefully can facilitate a lot more value in this area going forward
Thank you, @Melissa !
I like Microsoft’s idea of self-service BI and citizen analysts and I’m happy each time a customer buys in into this concept and I have the honour to help implementing it. But for a lot of our customers it’ll still take some time to mentally get there. Until then I’ll build a few more data warehouses, trying to convince customers to not only stick to Power BI desktop or at least to start with a O365 cloud service subscription
I’d be happy to hear about success stories and strategies how to convince customers to want this, which is the part of the project that starts even before the execution according to the video series can be done.

I just wanted to share my excitement about the progress I’ve made on my Business Intelligence (BI) project. It’s been a challenging journey, but incredibly rewarding.
I started this project a few months back with a vision of enhancing our data-driven decision-making processes. I’m happy to report that things are coming together nicely. Our data analysis and visualization tools are providing valuable insights, and the management team is loving it!
I’ve learned so much along the way, from data cleansing to creating interactive dashboards. The support and advice from this forum have been invaluable.
Can’t wait to see where this project takes us next. Thanks for the inspiration and guidance!
I just wanted to share my recent experience with executing a BI project, and I’m thrilled to say it was a resounding success!
We started with a clear vision and a well-defined strategy. Our team’s collaboration was outstanding, with each member bringing their unique skills to the table. We meticulously gathered and analyzed data, and the insights we uncovered were eye-opening.
Communication was key. Regular meetings ensured everyone was on the same page, and we could adapt to changes quickly. We also made sure our stakeholders were well-informed throughout the project’s lifecycle.
I’m proud to say that our BI project has transformed our decision-making processes and brought about some significant improvements in our organization. It’s proof that with the right planning and a dedicated team, anything is possible.
If anyone has questions or needs advice on how to make their BI project a success, feel free to ask. I’m here to help!
