Description

Power BI seems easy: connect to some data, build a few visuals, publish a report, and suddenly everything looks beautifully data-driven. Then real life happens.

When starting a new project, you are not just building visuals. You are juggling different business needs and the many options Power BI offers.

In this session, I will take a practical tour of Power BI from A to Z, using my own experience to share what I wish I had known earlier. We will look at the full journey behind a reporting solution, from data sources and modeling to report design, publishing, governance, and adoption.

We will also touch on the things that make reports work in the real world: building models that perform well, designing reports people can actually understand, and making choices that still make sense once a report is used by more than one team.

Anyone can build a dashboard. The real challenge starts when real users, real data, and real ownership enter the picture.
