What’s the challenging task for a Power BI Developer?

Do you know what is the most challenging task, that I feel as a Power BI developer? 🙄

Take a slight pause and make a guess!

❌ It’s not data cleaning
.
.
❌ It’s not writing DAX measures
.
.
❌ It’s not data modeling
.
.
❌ It’s not building perfect visuals and dashboards
.
.
❌ It’s not maintaining the workspaces in Power BI service

Well, I’ll stop irritating you by dragging this article and answer the question now. 😅

✅ I feel Requirement gathering (or Defining Scope) is the most challenging and intriguing task.

All the above tasks I mentioned, will be difficult at times too. But you will always be able to find solutions for those challenges from the internet.

But Requirement gathering involves the human element, where you need to think critically and ask questions to finalize the scope from the stakeholders.

Most times the business users themselves wouldn’t be sure what they want to see in the final dashboard.

Hence, you need to ask them about the purpose of the dashboard and each visual and slicer in the dashboard. This way you can ensure the number of iterations involved in developing the final dashboard. This will save a lot of time and boost productivity.
