Designing Power BI Reports That Actually Work: A Practical UI/UX Framework
Report designers often have a keen eye for identifying bad dashboards—but when it comes to explaining why they fall short or how to improve them, things get tricky.
In this session, Ahmad will share a practical, step-by-step framework for designing effective Power BI reports using core UI/UX principles. Whether you're building reports for executives or frontline end-users, this framework will help you go beyond just making things "look good"—you’ll make them work!
We’ll cover:
- Developing with Your End User in Mind – Learn how to uncover what your audience actually needs from your report and how that drives better design decisions.
- Principles of Information Architecture – Discover how to structure your report content clearly, reduce cognitive overload, and eliminate clutter.
- Designing with Accessibility Top of Mind – Ensure your reports are inclusive and usable for everyone, regardless of ability.
Expect real-world examples, before-and-afters, and actionable takeaways you can apply immediately to your Power BI work.
A perfect opportunity to:
- Learn from industry experts 📚
- Connect with fellow data enthusiasts 🤝
