 * DAX development: Create accurate, efficient and maintainable DAX measures, including calculation logic and time-based calculations.
 * Validation and reconciliation: Formally reconcile new reporting against legacy outputs and source data, investigate discrepancies and obtain business sign-off before replacing legacy reports.
 * Reporting standards: Apply consistent standards for layout, navigation, visualisation, accessibility, naming and usability.

 * Support and continuous improvement: Support production reporting, investigate issues, help users adopt Power BI and improve reports as business requirements and the platform evolve.
 * Knowledge sharing: Share knowledge with colleagues and business users and contribute to a sustainable internal reporting capability.
