Power BI Governance - All-In-One Solution for Impact Analysis & Backups

In this session, we’ll walk through the real-world challenges organizations face when making changes to Power BI models, dataflows, or data sources — from broken reports and unclear dependencies to lack of version control and overall governance. Then, we’ll shift gears and explore a free, open-source solution designed to work for anyone that acts as an all-in-one toolkit for:

1. Automatically backing up all Power BI reports, models, and dataflows

2. Extracting metadata from all Power BI workspaces

3. Performing true impact analysis to see what breaks before it breaks

4. Enabling workspace-level governance and transparency at scale

By the end of this 1-hour session, you'll see how to set up this solution for your own environment and gain practical strategies for taming Power BI sprawl and enforcing governance — without relying on paid third-party tools.
