Power BI data visualisation and storytelling precon is a one-day training providing attendees with an understanding of how to communicate data effectively using Power BI. The training aims to facilitate this by exploring psychology around how humans perceive data by looking into widely used UX principles and applying them to data visualisation best practices.

Next, we will explore how to communicate data visually by reviewing use cases, understanding requirements and converting requirements using proven approaches like BUS Matrix and Star Schemas to present the data optimally and beautifully to diverse business users like Analysts, stakeholders, and Execs. We will also review crucial concepts like Accessibility, colour theory, company branding, distribution and performance.

By the end of the session, attendees will get an understanding of the following:
• The science behind effective data visualisation
• Data patterns, use cases and requirements
