This is the full bundle of Power BI Deployment & Governance courses focusing on People, Process and Technology.
Throughout this course you will learn how Power BI influences these three areas. Considerations are typically given to changes in technology. However, what is often missed is the impact of the technology. How technology must change our company policies and require our team members to learn new skills.
Who needs this class?
I'm glad you asked. This bundle of courses is recommended for any Power BI administrator. If you are leading the development and use of Power BI this is for you.
As a leader of the Power BI we teach the strategies that have worked for countless other companies. Learn how to best use your time to maximize the most value out of your Power BI investment.
