Why This Matters
In traditional BI models, analytical capacity is constrained by the availability of technical resources — every new report or analysis requires IT or analyst involvement. Self-service analytics removes this bottleneck by enabling business users to answer their own analytical questions directly, faster, without queuing. The governance challenge is ensuring that self-service access is built on a reliable data layer with consistent definitions, so that the speed gain of self-service does not come at the cost of analytical consistency.
