Deploy preconfigured demo assets for Business performance planning

Business value

This feature accelerates evaluation and demonstration of Business performance planning by removing the need to manually design dimensions, cubes, and sample data. Partners, technical specialists, and customers can quickly explore realistic planning scenarios, such as strategic planning, workforce planning, OPEX, CAPEX, and revenue forecasting, without investing time in initial model setup. This improves time to value, increases demo consistency, and helps stakeholders understand how Business performance planning can support enterprise planning use cases.

Feature details

Business performance planning demo assets deploy a preconfigured, Contoso-style planning data model into Microsoft Dataverse. The assets include predefined dimensions, planning cubes, calculated measures, and sample data designed to illustrate common enterprise planning scenarios. These demo assets act as a shared data foundation for Business performance planning Power BI demo apps. They enable interactive planning, scenario modeling, and write-back experiences when consumed through Power BI. Users can explore and adjust planning values and assumptions. However, changes to the underlying data model definition or structure, such as modifying or removing dimension or cube columns, may impact the behavior of connected Power BI demo reports. Resetting or redeploying the demo assets removes all data changes and customizations. This feature is intended for demonstration and evaluation purposes only and isn't designed for production use or as a supported starting point for customer planning models.
