October 05, 2021 45: Talking Governance in Power BI - Part 1
This is the first part of what we believe will be at least a 3-part series on Governance in Power BI. Future Governance episodes will be released later in the future.
Using the amazing Power BI Adoption Roadmap series, today the guys kick-off what Data Governance is by defining the introductory statements outlined in the Adoption Roadmap article on Governance (article here: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/power-bi/guidance/powerbi-adoption-roadmap-governance).
We focus on what is and what is not Data Governance, along with defining "Governing is what people do with data", and the goal is to "put emphasis on user empowerment".

September 30, 2021 44: Jack of All Trades or Master of One - Skills In Power BI
We have a mailbag topic!
In the Power BI Space, there are more than enough areas of expertise that require skill and knowledge on. I am going from DAX all the way to adoption. So this begs the question: Is it better to be "somewhat" knowledge in all aspects or become a Master of a few particular areas?

September 28, 2021 43: Reviewing Goals In the Power BI Service
The last couple of weeks the Power BI team at Microsoft has released some major improvements to Goals in the Power BI Service (see articles below). With this feature that was announced back at MBAS 2021 in May, we wanted to check in and see how the adoption or the usage has been, and where do we see Goals being used by teams and users in it's current form. Does Goals in Power BI have enough features to be widely adopted? What is missing from the framework?

About Explicit Measures Podcast

From the publisher's feed

Hosted by Mike Carlo, Seth Bauer, and Tommy Puglia, the Explicit Measures Podcast is a Power BI focused show that is like being around a Power BI Pro’s Water Cooler. With so many available resources in the community that focuses on the “how” in Power BI (how to do Drill Through, how to use DAX, etc.,), the Explicit Measures Podcast is all around the WHY. Why use a particular feature, does it make sense for my users?
