Hey npowerbi,

 

currently there is nothing that really adresses the topics you mentioned, but things will change in the not so distant future:

 

Please have a look at the ALM toolkit for Power BI  from MAQ Software (alos an avid provider of custom visuals):
https://maqsoftware.com/case-studies/alm-toolkit

 

During the Business Application Summit this year MSFT mentioned that they will integrate the PBI development with VSTS, but currently there is no timeline.

 

For larger development projects, we are using different workspaces for the different stages and utilize PowerShell Scripts to move artefacts between these stages

1. Develop Reports using Power BI Desktop -> publish to DEV workspace -> Add Dashboards --> copy to ACC/INT workspace using PS

2. test --> copy  to PRD workspace

 

Regards,
Tom

Do you know if there is anything we can do to influence the integration with VSTS, er, Azure DevOps?
