Enterprise I'm also a MVP in the data
00:03:43
platform and powerbi I lead use the the
00:03:47
Orlando user group and I'm also leader
00:03:49
in
00:03:50
the global
00:03:53
um powerbi woman Global Group I mentor
00:03:58
and I'm speaker as
00:04:01
well data has changed over the past 10
00:04:06
years more than ever companies are
00:04:10
generating canons of bytes every day and
00:04:16
all the the industries they all you hear
00:04:20
is we we need to move into Data decision
00:04:24
M decision making how we can use data
00:04:29
but what it really means to to move into
00:04:33
all this transformation of data data is
00:04:36
what is f filling everything that is
00:04:38
happening in business and companies to
00:04:42
stay afloat they need to learn the
00:04:44
insights and they need people like us
00:04:48
that are willing to learn and evolve as
00:04:51
all these new technologies are being
00:04:54
invented and that's that's why these
00:04:57
certifications are so important for us
00:05:00
to keep up to speed with everything that
00:05:03
is happening and for us to to be
00:05:06
relevant in what we do um data analytics
00:05:10
is one of the most in demand jobs
00:05:13
worldwide
00:05:15
everywhere this is the fastest growing
00:05:20
job and In Demand right now and it's not
00:05:24
sufficient people to
00:05:26
fulfill everything that the companies
00:05:28
need at at this at this moment so it's
00:05:31
really relevant for us to jump and learn
00:05:35
all about all these
00:05:38
Technologies and the the Microsoft
00:05:42
fabric bring your data into the area of
00:05:45
AI all the data in one location is easy
00:05:49
to organize it help us collaborate and
00:05:55
create the the exam the dp600 is an
00:05:59
inter intermediate level um the role is
00:06:02
to do the analytics engineering data
00:06:05
engineering and data
00:06:08
analysis
00:06:10
um the certification is for you to learn
00:06:15
but also to demonstrate your ability to
00:06:17
transform data into reusable analytics
00:06:22
assets and also to to be able to
00:06:26
understand all all of the concepts that
00:06:28
go into into the data transformation and
00:06:32
also to um implement this type of
00:06:36
analytic Solutions at the Enterprise
00:06:39
level um a lot of people ask me if this
00:06:43
is the inter inter intermediate level
00:06:48
where can they start so is the
00:06:51
pl300 this one is the analyst associate
00:06:55
so if you feel that you are not ready
00:06:57
I'm not discouraging anybody of jumping
00:07:00
into into learning the dp600 but if you
00:07:04
feel that you you still need to learn
00:07:07
some other Concepts the pl300 is another
00:07:11
great place for you to
00:07:14
start ER that one is for the
00:07:17
powerbi an analyst
00:07:20
associate and what you are going to be
00:07:23
learning in the for this DP exam is for
00:07:28
a professional that is that is looking
00:07:30
to implement the Enterprise solution
00:07:34
level is is going to be to understand
00:07:38
your environment your architecture um is
00:07:42
going to guide you from where is that
00:07:45
your data is going to to come from
00:07:49
um you are going to start creating your
00:07:52
workspaces but not just creating the is
00:07:55
creating and maintaining your workspaces
00:07:59
your your Lakehouse your notebooks the
00:08:03
templates that your users are going to
00:08:05
be using but also the how to secure your
00:08:09
data as you are creating these type of
00:08:12
solutions they need to be secure so you
00:08:15
also they will learn how to conf
00:08:18
configure depending on on your users and
00:08:22
it can go at the at
00:08:26
the report level but if can also go into
00:08:31
the The Notebook level or even the roow
00:08:35
level what is that that you want
00:08:38
depending on the different use cases ER
00:08:41
you also will learn how to implement and
00:08:45
manage your semantic models for example
00:08:49
the governance of of your data um you
00:08:52
are going to to also control the the
00:08:57
objects the files the the life cycle of
00:09:01
of your data um the pipelines how how
00:09:05
you are going to be transforming your
00:09:08
data your
00:09:09
automation um you you need to also know
00:09:13
how to prepare and transform your data
00:09:17
how you are going to be
00:09:20
aggregating
00:09:22
transforming queries how you are
00:09:25
connecting everything that you are going
00:09:26
to be visualizing also so you will need
00:09:30
to to know how to optimize you you will
00:09:32
need to know how the keys are being
00:09:36
managed so I'm I'm just giving a a quick
00:09:39
overview you you will go in the in the
00:09:41
other two sessions they are going to go
00:09:43
into more detail on the on the content I
00:09:46
just want to give a a quick overview of
00:09:50
the the scope of of what it what it is
00:09:55
um you will also need to to do a like
00:10:00
assessments and Analysis with your with
00:10:02
your users what is that they are trying
00:10:05
to accomplish when you are trying
00:10:07
to create and maintain these these type
00:10:12
of solutions that are going to be
00:10:15
driving the strategies because you're
00:10:17
are going to be providing
00:10:20
the the the facts for decision makers so
00:10:25
you need to be
00:10:27
um I I think think that is a a liason is
00:10:31
is someone that is really technical but
00:10:35
you also need to understand the business
00:10:37
side of the house to be able to be
00:10:40
efficient how you're going to be
00:10:43
implementing Your solution and the other
00:10:46
thing is that it's not one size fit all
00:10:49
in one company you can
00:10:51
be implementing a solution one way but
00:10:54
then in another company or even in
00:10:57
another department the needs are
00:10:59
different your data is coming from
00:11:02
another place so you you will need to to
00:11:06
learn and you can be you need to be an
00:11:08
advisor to also maybe your users are
00:11:12
telling I want to go this way but you
00:11:14
you need to know in more detail and be
00:11:17
able to
00:11:18
advise I think that this other solution
00:11:21
is a is a better
00:11:23
solution and and I think that by getting
00:11:27
certified is a really nice track that
00:11:31
will give you the background the details
00:11:36
Your Hands On Tools that you will need
00:11:39
to be able to be um analytics
00:11:43
engineering engineer a data engineer or
00:11:46
a data analyst that that will have
00:11:50
everything that you need to know to be
00:11:52
to be more more
00:11:54
productive um it will also help you so
00:11:58
so the the first piece is for you to
00:12:01
learn and to be efficient doing your job
00:12:05
but then the other one is that it will
00:12:08
demonstrate that you have the skills um
00:12:12
if you are in the process of of getting
00:12:14
higher or changing jobs it will help you
00:12:18
um it it will also get you recognized by
00:12:23
getting certified you will get the batch
00:12:26
that you see right here so you you can
00:12:28
share that your LinkedIn with your with
00:12:30
your networks when you are interviewing
00:12:33
you can highlight that that you are a
00:12:35
fabric analytics
00:12:37
engineer and then get get rewarded is
00:12:41
really reward rewarding to get the the
00:12:47
certification you you will get promoted
00:12:50
feel
00:12:52
satisfied for these type of
00:12:54
certifications is it's been said that is
00:12:58
a it it leads to a 35% increase in
00:13:02
salary is a
00:13:05
26% of more promotions when people get
00:13:09
certified also and you will you will get
00:13:14
your task perform more confidently
00:13:17
because you have the the skills is other
00:13:21
ways for you to to get the expertise but
00:13:24
it it will take longer because you are
00:13:27
try and error and
00:13:29

00:18:45
available LCA thank you so much uh this
00:18:49
has been super exciting there's lots of
00:18:51
excitement in the chat um I would love
00:18:54
to know from you um I am already an
00:18:58
analyst already have the
00:19:01
pl300 and I passed I use powerbi every
00:19:05
day um why is it that that I should even
00:19:09
be interested in Fabric and getting
00:19:11
certified what what does fabric bring me
00:19:14
that powerbi does not and maybe like how
00:19:18
how does the dp600
00:19:21
differ okay so with the with the
00:19:26
powerbi you you have the a workspaces
00:19:29
you can share but with the fabric let's
00:19:33
say that you are bringing more data from
00:19:38
other systems or your company starting
00:19:41
to use um big
00:19:44
data is more like the Enterprise level
00:19:48
how how all the different sources of
00:19:51
data are being stored how they they can
00:19:54
be shared with other areas of the of the
00:19:58
company so it's like going into the next
00:20:01
level you can still with the with the
00:20:04
fabric you can still access data sets
00:20:07
that are in the the usual way of the
00:20:11
powerbi but it's like taking it to the
00:20:13
to the next
00:20:16
level the the data legs the the
00:20:18
management the this the
00:20:22
security also the the not the
00:20:26
notebooks templates
00:20:29
administering templates reusing of data
00:20:34
sets is to work more efficient in
00:20:38
different
00:20:40
levels thank you that is so helpful and
00:20:44
so would you recommend that I go through
00:20:48
the learning paths would that be how you
00:20:50
would start to prepare or should I sign
00:20:53
up for a fabric trial what do you
00:20:56
suggest well I I suggest just
00:21:01
both if you go to the get certified DP
00:21:05
600 and you start the learning path um
00:21:09
if you already have been learning with
00:21:12
learn at microsoft.com you will see that
00:21:15
maybe some areas you will have a
00:21:18
percentage that you already complete
00:21:20
some of the areas without knowing
00:21:23
because they are part if you already in
00:21:25
the power VI and you already took
00:21:28
classes is highly likely that you
00:21:30
already took some of the classes and

00:22:43
Luccia do you have one like top tip for
00:22:47
how you prepare for these exams that you
00:22:51
have passed with flying colors okay so
00:22:56
something that I that I recommend to the
00:22:58
people that I Mentor is make sure that
00:23:02
you go through the outline where you go
00:23:05
to the dp600 page is going to be a
00:23:08
section that is called the outline
00:23:11
outline is so it's it's two sections one
00:23:14
is the syllabus that is everything that
00:23:17
you're going to be learning but the
00:23:19
outline is the one that is telling you
00:23:22
what is the content that you need to
00:23:25
defend during the exam and it will tell
00:23:28
you 20% of this topic 30% 50%
00:23:32
40% make sure that you read everything
00:23:36
what I have been doing is I print out
00:23:39
the the outline and then I start
00:23:42
defending each of the topics making sure
00:23:45
that I know what the topic is that I'm
00:23:49
really secure that I that I know hands
00:23:52
on how to do each of the areas and then
00:23:56
you will you will start seeing that you
00:23:59
don't feel that confident in one area
00:24:02
you can go back into that content area
00:24:05
and make sure that you that you are
00:24:07
really really comfortable the the other
00:24:11
thing is that by so that's the the first
00:24:14
pass and then is a section where you can
00:24:18
simulate the test make sure that you
00:24:21
take the the questions and you will see
00:24:24
that in this type of tests it will tell
00:24:27
you
00:24:30
if you don't know the material really
00:24:32
well is really easy to not answer
00:24:36
correctly read the question what is that
00:24:39
they are asking if they are asking what
00:24:42
is the best
00:24:44
solution maybe they are providing three
00:24:47
but you need to pick what is the best
00:24:49
one or if they are asking P two or P
00:24:53
three so so is making sure that you know
00:24:57
the material but as you are reading the
00:25:00
the questions and in the in the session
