SESSION OVERVIEW:
Adopting Power BI and Fabric can get messy fast—too many workspaces, inconsistent permissions, and confused end users. In this session, we’ll share our journey of rolling out Power BI Service at scale: the mistakes we made, the lessons learned, and the Microsoft-recommended practices that transformed our governance model. You’ll learn how to balance security with usability, streamline report delivery, and set up a foundation that drives adoption instead of resistance.

LEARNING OBJECTIVES:
✅ Master role-based access by mapping workspace roles (viewer, member, contributor) to real-world scenarios.
✅ Learn when to use apps vs. workspaces vs. sharing links—and why Microsoft recommends each.
✅ Avoid common rollout pitfalls with a governance model that reduces noise, boosts adoption, and scales with Fabric.
✅ Walk away with a playbook of do’s and don’ts from our real-world experience rolling out Power BI across the enterprise.
