Understand the scope of what is required to effectively Govern and manage a Fabric/Power BI estate, understanding at a high level the content covered in the rest of the modules. This includes the key roles, processes and controls required to be set up such as data product ownership, Fabric estate monitoring, Data Governance, Security controls and operating models based around the Microsoft Fabric Adoption Roadmap.
Understand how the principles of Data Mesh apply to Microsoft Fabric and how it solves many of the challenges around data silos and dependencies on specialised technical teams.
Be able to design valuable, usable and feasible data products and domains with appropriate technical and process quality standards and a suitable workspace structure (e.g. based around the medallion architecture).
Implement the data product principles in Microsoft Fabric using decentralisation/ delegation of data ownership whilst having central endorsement and enablement.
Understand how to manage capacities from a performance and consumption perspective and design feature controls using the Fabric Admin portal. Consider how to use the pre-built datasets/reports around Fabric inventory and usage as well as how to use the Admin/Scanner APIs in order to build a custom solution to meet specific organisational needs.
Understand the principles and key activities required to set up:
-Integration between MS Fabric and Purview (along with third-party tools where appropriate) for Data lineage /impact analysis,
-Data Cataloguing and automatic scanning/identification of sensitive data.
-Information Protection including Data Loss Prevention Sensitivity Label and Data encryption, as well as Data Safeguarding (including Data residency, data recovery and end-to-end auditing as required to meet compliance requirements)
Define and implement security controls around access permissions, including:
-Data level security such as Row/Object level security and OneSecurity at the lakehouse/file level.
-Workspace and artefact security including workspace roles, sharing permissions and delegated data permissions.
-Identity and Network security including private endpoints and Microsoft Entra Private Access.
Brining it all together and applying the principles of the Fabric Adoption Roadmap to your organisation for end user and developer enablement.
This includes including ensuring the right data culture and setting up an Analytics/BI centre of excellence so that all users and admins have the appropriate level of support and the right environment for learning and continuous improvement!
