Session Abstract

From time to time, I realize that the Power BI workspace is considered a nuisance that has to be selected before another fantastic report can be published to the service and shared with others. It’s true, one of the ruling principles of Power BI Service, one workspace, one app, made me rethink the organization of content more than once. I will share my findings from the last years supporting large enterprises and small organizations on using workspaces. I will explain why I consider the separation of data and content (reports and dashboards) a good idea and the XMLA endpoint’s role. I demonstrate the importance of workspaces in combination with deployment pipelines and how they relate to data governance.
