Overview
Power BI is a powerful analytics tool provided that allows you to analyze and visualize data from Nimble projects. By connecting Power BI to the Nimble OData endpoint, you can import data from Nimble projects into Power BI and create custom reports and dashboards that provide insights into projects. For example, you can create visualizations that show the status of user stories in a project that is completed within a certain duration with high priority.
With the integration of Nimble with Power BI, you can leverage these advanced analytics features to gain deeper insights into your project data, which allows you to combine the strengths of both platforms to gain valuable insights.
