Power BI meets UX Design: The Design Process

on YouTube ↗20m

" summary

Argues that applying the UX design process to Power BI prevents wasted work by insisting on Empathize, Define, Ideate, Prototype, Test; recommends building low‑fi prototypes (paper, simple Power BI pages or higher‑fi in Figma/Adobe), observing users, and running quick feedback sessions to catch navigation and accessibility issues early. Advises creating 3–5 personas, prioritizing fixes by impact, and testing repeatedly so reports deliver actionable insights rather than guesses.
