I would also add to this the increasing number of Javascript libraries.   As we're not using CDNJS or anything similar but rather deploy the libraries in our own environment, maintaining and keeping track of them is complex.

This is specially true when it comes to security issues requiring to update the librairies.

Who owns the process for formal ticketing? is it Product management, security, GRC and How is the hammer brought down? essentially in too many places I have seen the process exist but to actually see it work given differing levels of commitment via PMs is a major issue from an implementation perspective.

We use Microsoft PowerBI extensively at the company. Over 15,000 reports.
For our "corporate" reports, like financials or HR, we centralize those requests and attend them with my team.
We currently "extract" information from multiple systems (ie. SAP, SuccessFactors, CRM, etc...) and put in into a SQL Analysis Services. For interpreting the data we have a Semantics model in PBI.
The problem I see is we can't scale enough to comply with the reporting demands as the semantic model is "unique" and we end up having only one or two developers that can work at a time. 
Anyone has an idea how to scale their PBI teams without having to redevelop the semantic model per report?

How do you think AI will disrupt business across industries? Add to my list: 1. Content creation 2. Photos and video production 3. Basic coding and debugging 4. Strategic analysis to be highly complimented
