Questions about hiring for Microsoft Power BI

Answers to the questions clients commonly ask before starting a brief.

Do we need clean data before starting?

Not necessarily. A brief should explain where the data comes from and what you do not trust today. A specialist can scope the cleanup or modelling work needed.

Can Power BI use our existing systems?

Often, yes. Include your accounting, CRM, spreadsheet or operational systems so applicants can assess the available connections.

What should our first dashboard show?

Start with the decisions it needs to support, the people who use it and the few measures they need to see regularly.

How long does a Power BI project take?

A focused dashboard can take a few weeks. Multi-system reporting usually needs more time for data discovery, validation and feedback.

Can a freelancer train our team?

Yes. Ask for a walkthrough, documentation or handover support if your team will maintain reports after launch.
