Hi
I'd like to understand how are businesses across the world trying to encourage self-serve data analysis and reporting by business users (indivisuals outside of BI and Data Team) at the same time enable them to share reports via PBI Service.
Our scenario -
How are you guys encouraging business users to self-serve at the same time share? And how do we keep their work separated with BI's certified organisational-wide reports and dashboards?
Hope I've been able to explain. Please ask questions if you need clarification.
PS: I checked the forums, the below is the closest I could find. However, the solution doesnot answer to my specific concern.
Thank you
I can honestly say we're facing much of the same problems.
This is our setup and issues we are facing:
Things we would like to do:
So to come back to some of your questions:
- I think applying a template to the reports is a good idea, that way end users always know what they are looking at
- We also struggle with the pro licenses. We now have way more then we first expected, but we do not want to hinder the business (too much). Premium is not only a cost decision, it also brings about new (Premium only) features.
Please let me know if you have any questions or want any clarifications.
Hi @nickyvv
Thank you for sharing your thoughts. I can see we are not alone. 🙂
The only difference I can see with your scenario to mine is that you've some sort of psuedo BI teams within functional areas. We dont. We have a central BI team of 8 people supporting 1600 + employees. 1 per 200. 🙂
Rest every conundrum is the same.
Your idea on templates were discussed within my team, however it was quickly dismissed because not every cowboy in the business will now that a template exists. And the BI team will not know that there is a cowboy waiting to create his flashy report on PBI so lets send the template. The cowboy can spend weeks making it flashy, only to know that BI team will reject as it is not on a template.
I think we are just going to wing it as it comes. I'll keep reading.
Thank you for taking time to reply.
