Imagine yourself as a data analyst in the middle of trying to educate and convince senior stakeholders in a large organisation (e.g Head of IT Security, Head of IT, CDO, COO) about how Microsoft Fabric can be securely implemented and Governed. There are debates around how to balance the requirement for self-service with implementing sufficient technical controls to restrict access to potentially sensitive data.

All in an organisation where Power BI has brought a lot of value to the business but a lot of pain for IT, essentially forming part of a growing, ungoverned domain of “Shadow IT”. So these stakeholders aren’t immediately sold on the idea of bringing more analytics items into the mix with Microsoft Fabric.

In this session you will be immersed into a series of role-play scenarios with these stakeholders, delivered through an interactive e-learning course done as part of a live group workshop. The content is split into 6 core sections (modules) with a live peer brainstorming exercise and interactive Q&A at the end of each module.

In part 1 we cover the first three topics:

Module 1: Overview.

Understand the high level scope of what is required to effectively Govern and manage a Fabric/Power BI estate.

Module 2: Microsoft Fabric as part of a Data Mesh Architecture.

Understand how the principles of Data Mesh apply to Microsoft Fabric and how it solves many of the challenges around data silos and dependencies on specialised technical teams.

Module 3: Administering and monitoring the Fabric environment:

- Manage Fabric capacities from a performance and consumption perspective
- Design feature controls-
using the Fabric Admin portal and
- know how to analyse Fabric adoption and usage!
