There are always small tweaks we can make in our Power BI reports to improve them. But how do we know when they are "good enough"? We'll talk about what's on Meagan's list for evaluating Power BI report designs to ensure they are ready for use! This includes making sure the charts match their intended message, checking the visual hierarchy within a page, evaluating visual components for good visual design practices, and testing accessibility. We'll look at some of the items on the list and see how a few small tweaks can significantly improve the usability of a report.
