(Livestream Replay) Design Thought Process for Power BI Reporting - with Miguel Myers

ABSTRACT 📝

Visualizing large amounts of data can be overwhelming and frustrating regardless of one’s skill level, so imagine how frustrated and exhausted the viewing audience can become when trying to interpret complex visuals. In the absence of strategic thinking, Reports can become so overloaded that designs are easily rejected by wearisome and disappointed customers. It's imperative that designers embrace and implement Strategic Thinking to extrapolate critical factors to be presented in the creation of a successful report. By embracing a strategic methodology, we’re able to find solutions to problems, and even alternative solutions that may have gone unnoticed initially. This session will provide a more structured approach and help you to realize your own strategic thought processes that are comfortable for you through the way I personally take.
