Using Power BI to Generate Quick Data Visualizations

This will be a brief overview of Power BI, its capabilities and competitors, along with my own opinions on the value of the tool. We will use sample data and a project scenario to build a simple visual in Power BI. Next, I will open the discussion and demonstration to any other situations or aspects of the tools that can be quickly performed.

Learing Objectives: 

1. Basic understanding of popular data visualization tools and capabilities

2. Live demonstration of creating a visual using sample data in Power BI

3. Content tailored to the PMI professionals need to produce reports

Key Takeaways for Participants:

The participants should have an understanding on the capabilities of the Power BI tool and be able to make a personal decision if adding this to their skillset will help improve their data visualizations over existing tool sets

Speaker:

Gary Pannell

I have over 20 years of experience in the IT world spanning operations, development, sales, and support. I currently manage the data services team at Travis County, including data integrations and data analytics. I believe using data is important to decision making and incorporating visuals to tell that story can help deliver the message.
