#MSBIFI Coffee Break on viikottainen Data Platform -tietoisku. 15 minuuttia, kahvihetken verran. Ei esittelyitä, ei mainoksia, vaan jokin yksittäinen asia joka viikko taatusti ajankohtaisesta asiasta.

Puhujat toivottavasti monesta firmasta ja varalla aina järjestävä poppoo, joten setti toteutuu joka viikko!

Kenelle: Kaikille Microsoft Data Platformista kiinnostuneille. Osallistuminen Teamsin kautta, joten näemme keitä muita sessiossa on. Mutta niin sen pitääkin olla ja huippua kun voi kerran viikossa huikkaista moikat sille naapurifirman arkkitehdille.

Aihe tulee aina hieman yli viikko ennen tapahtumaan. Teams kutsu oheisen linkin takana (https://qum.io/khc) . Voit liittyä Teamsiin myös suoraan linkillä: https://qum.io/kh2021 Jos linkki antaa lyhyturlivirheen, on suora teams-linkki oikealla kunhan olet kirjautunut!

Coffee Break: Microsoft BI/Data Platform. 15-minutes : online meeting

Online event

**Description**
Ever struggled with version control in Power BI?

How do you test new features, track changes, or roll back updates while maintaining stability?

With Power BI Project files (PBIP), the TMDL format, and GitHub integration, developers now have access to structured version control, collaborative workflows, and CI/CD automation.

In this session, I’ll share real-world insights from a five-member BI team, covering the benefits, challenges, and limitations of this evolving workflow. We’ll explore how GitHub integration streamlines version control, testing, and deployment.

Beyond version control, I’ll also demonstrate how GitHub Actions can automate code reviews, enforce best practices using the Best Practice Analyzer, and auto-format code, ensuring consistency across projects.

To wrap up, I’ll showcase these solutions in action with a live demo.

Who should attend? Power BI developers, BI team leads, and data professionals at an intermediate to advanced level looking to optimize workflows and adopt best practices in collaborative development.

As always, we're looking for speakers. So, if you have an interesting story to share, please submit your session to our [call for speakers](https://sessionize.com/dutch-fabric-user-group-1/). If you're a first-time speaker, don't worry! We are more than happy to help you taking your first steps in the wonderful world of public speaking. Also, for all sessions submitted and not selected, we will keep a list of all sessions for future events.

**Session 1:** Building a Self-Serve Data Platform in Fabric
**Speakers:** Robin Meulenbrugge and Frank Stapel
**Abstract:**
In this session, we’ll share our experiences from the past three months, during which we started developing a self-service data platform in Fabric. This platform plays a crucial role in our transition from a centralized data estate to a decentralized data mesh architecture.

We’ll discuss the drivers, approach, implemented capabilities, and lessons learned, while also highlighting the challenges we faced and the choices we made. Our goal is to spark an engaging discussion, both during and after the session.

MVP Achievements:
✅ Workspace Provisioning – Fully automated using YAML, ADO pipelines (including validations), Terraform, and Fabric REST APIs.
✅ Source Ingestion – Configurable via YAML and ADO pipelines, supported by a central ingest framework that makes data accessible via shortcuts in data product workspaces.
✅ Monitoring – Implementation of event streams and an activator that automatically notifies responsible individuals in case of errors.

Current Focus:
🔹 Data Contracts – To manage and ensure data integrity when data moves beyond a data product team’s knowledge domain.
🔹 Standardizing Data Product Development – Proof of concept using dbt Core as a scalable alternative to the current thousands of uSPs.
🔹 Marketplace – A central hub where data products are published, discovered, and shared across the organization.

This session will provide valuable insights into our approach and the challenges we encountered while building a self-service data platform. We look forward to exchanging experiences and engaging in meaningful discussions!

**Session 2**: **Fabric Adoption Roadmap: Lessons from Napoleon Bonaparte**
***Speakers***: [Jo David](https://www.linkedin.com/in/jorenedavid/)
**Abstract:**
Join us for an engaging session where the transformative journey of adopting Microsoft Fabric is paralleled with the rise and fall of one of history’s most iconic figures: Napoleon Bonaparte. Through this lens, we’ll explore effective strategies for driving organizational change, identifying best practices that lead to sustained success, and avoiding pitfalls that can derail even the most ambitious initiatives. This thought-provoking session will equip you with actionable insights to lead your team’s Fabric adoption with confidence and foresight.

**Session 1 -** **Ensuring Accessibility in Data Visualisation - [Juliana Smith](https://www.linkedin.com/in/juliana-smith-citp/)**
Ensuring accessibility in data visualization is crucial, especially for the 350 million people worldwide affected by colour blindness. While ideal colour choices improve readability, branding constraints and common conventions, like RAG (red, amber, green) reporting, often limit inclusive design.
In this session, we’ll explore Power BI’s built-in accessibility features, WCAG guidelines, and practical techniques for selecting accessible colours. I’ll also showcase a solution that allows users to toggle between standard and accessible views, fostering inclusivity while maintaining design flexibility.
By prioritising accessibility in reporting, we create equitable experiences, strengthen collaboration, and drive innovation across diverse audiences.

**About Juliana**
Juliana Smith is an award-winning IT Chartered Professional with over 15 years of experience transforming complex project data into clear, actionable insights. A recognised Power BI and UI design expert, she specialises in creating visually compelling and accessible dashboards that empower stakeholders to make informed decisions with confidence.

Never underestimate the value of a good Data Steward: they know all the things, so you don’t have to! An overview of culture and capability building at the University of Bath when making data governance a reality. Focusing on engaging people from the start, having clear, documented processes, and how to use technology to engage, not enrage.
