Dashboard design process

  1. Define dashboard requirements.
    • Map the required dashboard tiles to existing datasets (that is, data models) and source systems
    • For any new dataset to be created, evaluate readiness, scale, and data retrieval and modeling needed
    • The data warehouse bus matrix and model planning described in Chapter 3, Building a Power BI Data Model, can help guide this process to promote re-usability and version control
  2. Map dashboard tiles to reports and datasets.

  • The design process results in a logical architecture of the components needed in Power BI to support the dashboard
