Summary

In this chapter, we introduced the planning process for Power BI business intelligence projects. Upfront requirements such as gathering, planning, and design are critical steps in ensuring the success of any business intelligence project, and projects involving Power BI are no exception. We then introduced the specific scenario that will be used throughout the rest of this book. As Pam, you have been tasked with creating a data model and report that will assist a regional consulting firm in visualizing and analyzing the % utilization of employees across divisions, branches, and projects.

In the next chapter, we will install Power BI Desktop, explore its interface, and familiarize ourselves with some of its functionality.
