The Power of Prototypes: Shaping your data story in Power BI
Data is more than just numbers on a page. When shared as a story, we suddenly have the power to connect, engage and ultimately transform our data into decisions. In this session, we explore practical design tips to help you start shaping your data story in Power BI - quickly!
Starting from a blank canvas, we begin by asking questions of our data to design our '10 minute mock-up'. We then walk through how to import and model your data, and transform this into a 'Proof of Concept' Power BI report, refined with layouts, themes, branding and images to get early feedback and engagement from your business users. When implemented successfully, a prototype has the power to quickly create a shared understanding and align the vision of our organisations collective data story, potentially saving a lot of rework and headaches down the track!
