ALM for reports, dashboards and datasets

[Anonymous]

Hello -

I am in seach of a strategy in Power BI service for dashboard, report and dataset development, UAT and production.
I have read about deployment pipelines.  A separate tenant for dev and UAT was also suggested.
I'm curious what others have implemented along with the pros and cons of the selection.

Thank you.

Hi. Just for the heads up Deployment pipelines works in one single tenant creating three workspaces. Deploment Pipelines is the only tool that will let you work with environments including dashboards. Any other approach will only work for datasets and reports. Another approach available at the tool right now is the "git integration" for premium capacities. You can align an Azure DevOps git repo Branch with a workspace. That way you can control version your reports and dataset developments creating a Branch and workspace for Dev, UAT and Prod. When you commit/push to the brach, the workspace integration will automatically deploy the report and keep it available with last changes.

Those two are the "default" settings available at the tool. Then you can build your own ideas thinking about workspaces as environments, drive or repo technologies for control version and DevOps pipelines (using power bi rest api for deploying).

I hope that helps,
