“Goals is a great addition to Power BI. Built directly on top of Power BI data, Goals provides a data-driven, collaborative, adaptable way of measuring and tracking progress on key business metrics,” Microsoft Power BI Mobile and Devices PM, Maya Shenhav, explains. “Goals enables teams to easily curate the business metrics that matter to them most, and to aggregate those metrics in an easy-to-grasp, unified view.

“Today we’re excited to announce that we’ve enabled Goals in the latest update of the Power BI mobile apps! Having Goals in your Power BI mobile app lets you monitor the health of your business directly from your smart phone, no matter where you are. You can also check in and update progress for goals from the app, helping you to ensure that the status of your KPIs are always up to date.”
