Microsoft Purview: Data Catalog & Data Governance

Modern businesses rely on data to make better decisions, yet many struggle with unclear definitions, scattered metadata, and inconsistent data quality. Microsoft Purview solves these challenges by bringing governance, cataloging, quality, and lineage together — and this course shows you how to use it not only to organize your data, but to unlock it for strategic, data-based decision making across your organization.

You will learn how to build a powerful Data Catalog that makes your data assets transparent, well-documented, and easy to discover. As we scan Azure SQL, ADLS, Power BI, and Microsoft Fabric workspaces, you’ll understand how to gather and interpret the data your teams rely on. By enriching assets with context and classifications, you create the foundation that enables analysts and decision-makers to trust and act on their insights.

A consistent business language is essential for good decisions. That’s why you’ll also build a clear, practical Business Glossary that aligns definitions across departments and connects directly to your datasets. This shared understanding reduces confusion, speeds up analysis, and improves the quality of insights that guide strategic decisions.

Data quality and lineage play a critical role in making reliable, business-driven choices. In this course, you’ll learn how to apply rules, profile datasets, and trace data flows end-to-end — ensuring that the information behind your dashboards and reports is accurate, complete, and trustworthy. With clear visibility into how data moves and transforms, leaders can make decisions with confidence instead of assumptions.

Finally, you’ll explore how Purview integrates with Microsoft Fabric, governing Microsoft Power BI Reports and datasets. This gives organizations a unified view of their analytical ecosystem, allowing them to embed governance directly into their decision-making processes and adopt truly data-driven strategies.

This course is perfect for data engineers, BI developers, analysts, architects, and governance professionals who want real-world skills they can apply immediately. No prior Purview experience is required.
