This course is designed to lead users through the experience of working with Power BI content in the Power BI service. This web-enabled environment is where content creators and business users go to develop, deploy, and consume content. This course will walk through the process of creating Power BI workspaces in this environment, provisioning user roles, and publishing content to these spaces. It will also walk through the steps necessary to make that content available to a larger business audience by developing workspace apps.
Content in Power BI is also constantly iterated upon, and this course will establish best practices for development lifecycle strategy and the use of premium features like deployment pipelines. Once Power BI content is deployed, it must also be accessible and discoverable.

Let's walk through the process of creating a Power BI workspace. First, we need to navigate to powerbi.com. Once here, we'll need to sign into our account. Once we've signed into our Power BI account, in the left panel, we'll navigate to the Workspaces button. Once we click on that button, a menu opens and at the bottom of that menu is a button to Create a workspace, click on that. This opens a panel that allows us to create a workspace name. In this case, we'll call it Testing Workspace. It will tell us if that workspace name is available, we can add a description. There's also advanced options if we choose to use these. At this point, the Save button is activated and we can select it. This will create our workspace, and we can verify that by opening the workspace menu and finding that our workspace name is now present.
