(Livestream Replay) Co-Creation: Defining Reporting Requirements with Users - with Kurt Buhler

Many reporting requests have a common starting point - existing reports.

These might be Excel workbooks, large PowerPoint slide decks, or bundles of reports scattered across other technologies. For one reason or another, these reports need to be re-made, re-designed or migrated over to Power BI. “They need to be in Power BI, and they need to be there now.” The business has urgent needs, and there’s pressure from management to see the result. But where do we start? What do we make? Defining the right requirements is essential if we want to make an effective report that is used and delivers value. Otherwise, it will just be collecting digital dust & cobwebs in an abandoned app…

Kurt will discuss three common approaches to collecting reporting requirements, arguing in favor of the third approach - working iteratively & collaboratively with business users.
