Most Power BI projects don't go wrong in DAX or in the visuals — they go wrong in week one, when nobody planned the solution. In this beginner-friendly session we'll slow down and do the thinking that makes everything easier later.

Starting from real business questions, we'll walk through the decisions every solution needs. How to shape your data into a star schema — and why it beats one big table every time. How to choose between Import, DirectQuery and Direct Lake without drowning in jargon. What Pro licensing gives you versus a Fabric capacity, and how to tell when you actually need a lakehouse or a warehouse — and when you don't. Then we'll design a workspace layout that survives growth: dev, test and production, naming conventions your future self will thank you for, and day-one governance — ownership, endorsement, and a sharing strategy that won't haunt you at scale.

No prior architecture experience needed — just curiosity and maybe a project that grew faster than planned. You'll leave with a one-page planning checklist and a decision map you can apply to your very next project.

Level: Beginner (100). Duration: 45 min + 15 Q&A. Session can be delivered in English, Spanish or Portuguese.
