There are many options and strategies available for CI/CD when using Git and Azure DevOps for Power BI, each with its own set of benefits and challenges. In this session, I’ll walk you through the "recipe" that worked best for me in my projects. I’ll share key lessons learned from my projects, including how we aligned the technical setup —such as Fabric Deployment Pipelines and workspaces, Azure Pipelines for automated validation and deployment orchestration, Fabric REST APIs, repo structures and policies, etc.— with new or existing governance rules, defined through the Fabric Adoption Roadmap, for Power BI within the organization.

Speaking of governance, what about self-service BI? Do we expect business users to work with Git and Azure DevOps as well? Not quite. To close the session, I’ll demonstrate an alternative solution using OneDrive or SharePoint that meets business user needs without compromising governance or control.

Whether you're just starting out or looking to refine your existing setup, this session will inspire you to establish a solid CI/CD and governance approach in your organization.
