Microsoft Fabric makes it easier than ever to get data into the hands of users. It also makes it surprisingly easy to create workspace sprawl, inconsistent security models, duplicated semantic models, unclear ownership, and governance headaches that only become visible once hundreds of users depend on the platform.

In this session, we'll examine real-world governance mistakes that organizations commonly make when adopting Microsoft Fabric. Through practical scenarios, architecture diagrams, and lessons learned, you'll discover how seemingly harmless decisions in the early stages of adoption can become major operational, security, and compliance challenges later.

Whether you're a Data Engineer, Architect, Platform Owner, or Fabric Administrator, you'll leave with actionable guidance for building a Fabric environment that scales without becoming a data swamp.
