• Define governance frameworks for dataset certification, role-based access, and content lifecycle management.
• Establish semantic models and shared datasets to enable reusability and enterprise consistency.
• Integrate Power BI with enterprise data gateways (on-prem, VNet, and cloud) ensuring encrypted, audit-ready connectivity.
• Deployment Pipelines & CI / CD
• Design and manage Power BI Deployment Pipelines for automated content promotion (Dev → Test → Prod).
• Configure parameterized data connections for seamless environment switching.
• Implement validation workflows and approval gates for controlled releases and data accuracy assurance.
• Data Modeling & Performance Engineering
• Lead model design for Import, DirectQuery, Composite, and Live Connection modes.
• Optimize performance using query folding, partitioning, and computation pushdown to source systems.
• Establish DAX modeling best practices, calculation groups, and measures for high-performance analytics.
• Security & Compliance
• Implement Row-Level Security (RLS) and Object-Level Security (OLS) across datasets.
• Collaborate with IT Security to enforce encryption, tenant-level governance, and usage monitoring.
• Oversee data lineage, metadata tagging, and compliance with regulatory frameworks (GDPR, SOX, etc.).
• Automation & Integration
• Integrate Power BI with Power Apps, Power Automate, and Azure Data Factory for analytics-to-action workflows.
• Implement dataflows and shared ETL logic to enable reusable and self-service data preparation.
• Automate report scheduling, distribution, and monitoring for production-grade reliability.
• AI & Copilot Enablement
• Leverage Power BI Copilot and natural-language Q&A capabilities for business-user-driven insights.
