Data governance with Power BI
At KTH, we use Power BI as a tool for data management and decision support. Here, as a leader or project leader, you can find the reports relevant to you and deepen your analysis. More reports will be developed during 2026 to include, for example, HR data and educational data.
KTH uses Fabric and Power BI to support data‑driven operational development. Employees have access to reports directly in the system. Data is aggregated from various sources and compiled in one place, enabling you to focus on what you need – and make quality-assured decisions. Initially, the reports available are those previously found in VIS, but new reports will gradually be developed within the Data Governance project.
Tip! Create bookmarks and set up “subscriptions” to receive reminders when new data becomes available. Previous email distributions with PDFs will be discontinued.

Education leaders or controllers
The HST/HPR report is available in Power BI as part of the Education Support Portal. It is updated with new data every night. Ladok is the next data source to be integrated, giving you more information about current students.
In general, the Education Portal is available to GA, UA, controllers, and managers within Finance.

Project leaders in the faculty
The Project Leader Report is already available in Power BI and resembles the previous version in VIS. The potential of the new platform is substantial, and the report will be developed based on operational needs.
