PBIPT #55 - But what about the report? (Live at Porto)

This will be a live session at Porto (there won't be online transmission)

Make sure to only register if you are able to attend in person.

But what about the report? - The most uttered response when the 2023 Power BI source control innovations, DevMode and TMDL, were revealed.

This session finally provides an answer and provides an exclusive preview of a new innovative tool for Power BI developers. If you like what Tabular Editor has done for tabular model development, and what TMDL and ALM Toolkit have enabled for comparing different versions of a tabular model, join this session for a glimpse into the future of advanced report development, overcoming the "black box" limitation of PBIX and report.json

### Mathias Thierbach

Head of Finance Systems at YouGov Plc, Data Platform MVP, and Developer of pbi-tools

In 2015, after having spent over ten years as a Software Developer and Architect with Microsoft technologies, Mathias Thierbach moved into the Microsoft BI space. He soon landed on Power BI, but also realized quickly that the development and engineering tools and practices were nothing like the ones well established in software development. This is how pbi-tools started as a project, the only complete source control solution for Power BI.

Today, leading a growing data management team at YouGov, he experiences the benefits of those efforts every day. Having open sourced the project in fall of 2021, Mathias spends a lot of his free time bringing source control and DevOps practices to the wider Power BI community now.

In addition to his open source engagements, Mathias cares deeply about his role as an enterprise technology leader. Like many, once having started as a single contributor technologist, he had to pivot significantly when he moved into a manager role, responsible for building, stabilizing and growing a team of data engineers, analysts and architects. Mathias is now passionately sharing the many experiences and learnings that came out of that journey with the community.
