Centre of Excellence: Your Governance Superheroes Assemble!

Proposed session for SQLBits 2026

TL; DR

Don’t let Fabric adoption turn into a cartoon disaster! Learn how to build a Centre of Excellence that acts like your governance superhero team—keeping costs, security, and performance under control while empowering innovation.

Session Details

Every great story needs heroes—and when it comes to Microsoft Fabric, your organization needs a Centre of Excellence (CoE) to save the day! Without a strong governance team, Fabric adoption can feel like a chaotic cartoon chase scene—data flying everywhere, costs ballooning like comic speech bubbles, and security holes popping up like trap doors.
In this fun, action-packed session, you’ll learn how to assemble your own Governance Super Squad. We’ll outline the key roles (think: Captain Governance, Template Titan, and Cost Crusader), share best practices for security and performance, and reveal reusable templates that keep your Fabric universe in order. Expect real-world examples, practical strategies, and a few cartoon-style tips to make governance less “villain” and more “hero.”
By the end, you’ll have the blueprint for turning Fabric chaos into a well-orchestrated animated masterpiece—where governance and innovation live happily ever after.
