Power BI FastStart: 6-Wk Workshop

Demonstrate your business intelligence with Power BI.

This program is based upon the successful deployment of Microsoft’s Power BI. This tool can assist in the efforts to create a data driven culture by providing a powerful data exploratory capability at a low cost of entry. However, the tool does not replace the need to have an Enterprise BI and BI self-service roadmap.

The Power BI FastStart program builds the foundation of an Enterprise BI strategy and at the same time delivers immediate value to the end user community.

Agenda

Roadmap

• This outlines tasks and milestones to successfully roll out Power BI.
• It includes topics such as data platform architecture, data source management, user adoption, and report development.

Deployment

• Multiple delivery approaches
