From Power BI Police to Fabric FBI: Evolving Platform Ownership for Fabric

Just when you thought you had Power BI admin down to a tee, you suddenly find yourself the proud owner of a Fabric platform. Feeling a little lost is normal.
In this session, Power BI fangirl Megan Livadas and Fabric architect Ian Pike come together to explore what it really takes to make that transition and evolve from Power BI administrator to Fabric governance and adoption leader.
We will focus first on the human side of the shift. How roles evolve. How ownership and accountability change. And what this means for BI teams who are now responsible for much more than reports and datasets.
From there, we will move into process and structure. How Power BI content and Fabric items coexist. How governance models need to adapt when workspaces start holding data platforms. And how platform ownership changes as Fabric capabilities expand.
Finally, we will look at the technology considerations. Capacity planning in a Fabric world. What changes and what stays the same. And how to think pragmatically about migrating legacy Power BI technical debt to the right Fabric tools over time.
Whether you are actively adopting Fabric or simply preparing for what is coming, this session will help you update your governance strategy before chaos arrives.
