Helping technical operations team utilize data through BI-Jira integration

This project was started during 2022 summer. Later, it served as a subject for my master's thesis, which was written during February 2023 - May 2023. Goal behind this project was to help IT company's support team improve their internal reporting tools by giving stakeholders access to use Power BI. Requirements for the Power BI project was gathered by interviewing 9 senior-level employees. Providing users capabilities to utilize business intelligence tools helps employees to eliminate the lag in decision-making and can help them find additional insights of problematic areas.

Technologies: Data from Jira to Power BI is extracted with REST API. Python is used during extraction to transform the data to desired format while tracking how long tickets have been in certain statuses. In Power Query, data is further transformed with M Code . Key performance indicators are created with  DAX


Thesis grade: 4
