This course bridges the worlds of business analysis and data platform strategy at a time of significant change. As Microsoft retires Power BI Premium per capacity (P-SKUs) and transitions customers to Fabric (F-SKUs), organizations must prepare for this shift to avoid disruption, manage risks and capture new opportunities.
Microsoft Fabric is more than a licensing update. It is a fully integrated analytics platform that combines the strengths of Power BI, Azure Synapse, and Azure Data Explorer into a single environment. Migrating to Fabric enables organizations to modernize their data strategy, adopt Azure-native features such as trusted workspace access and Managed Private Endpoints and take advantage of Microsoft Azure Consumption Commitment (MACC) benefits to optimize cost efficiency.
Through the lens of the IIBA® BABOK Strategy Analysis knowledge area, this course equips you to:
Understand the strategic rationale behind Microsoft’s move to Fabric.
Understand Fabric technical concepts like tenants, capacities, workspaces, licenses, SKUs, workloads in easy to understand terms
Compare Premium and Fabric capacities, SKUs, and licensing models.
Apply strategy analysis fundamentals such as assessing the current state, envisioning the future state, evaluating risks, and defining change strategies.
Build a structured migration roadmap that aligns with organizational goals and delivers measurable value.
You will also explore practical use cases, real-world analogies, and migration scenarios, helping you translate technical concepts into business terms that resonate with executives and stakeholders.
By the end of this course, you will not only understand the technical aspects of Fabric but also master the strategic analysis skills required to guide organizations and clients confidently through this critical transformation. Whether you are a business analyst, data professional, or decision-maker, this course gives you the tools to lead with clarity, structure and impact.
