Topic Summary
We will briefly cover the native approach of using Git with Power BI, which will unlock a lot of potential on its own, and then take you behind the scenes of our advanced Azure DevOps implementation, and the journey we took to migrate our large PBI portfolio to this new way of working.
Here, CI and CD are fully automated, quality checks run on every deployment and metadata collection is automated. The session highlights how python / powershell automations and agentic AI are now embedded in our process, generating fixes, driving quality and efficiency.
We will discuss architecture diagrams, pipeline YAML, example rule validations, challenges and lessons learnt.
