Power BI Build Buy Retire Decision

Use this skill before starting new Power BI work.

Decision Options

• Build: new governed model/report is justified.
• Extend: existing certified dataset/report covers most needs.
• Buy: standard SaaS/Fabric/Power BI app is better than custom build.
• Migrate: legacy report should move into governed Power BI.
• Consolidate: duplicate reports should merge.
• Retire: no owner, no usage, or replaced capability.
• Defer: source/KPI/security readiness is insufficient.

Output Requirements

• Provide recommendation, rationale, risks, owner, and next artifact.
• Include cost, speed, governance, reuse, security, and maintenance impact.
