Planning doesn’t need to live across five different tools anymore. Join us to explore the new Planning capabilities in Microsoft Fabric, straight from the product managers who built them. See how teams can model, forecast, and collaborate directly on top of their data. We’ll show how bringing planning closer to your data and AI simplifies workflows, removes unnecessary data movement, and helps teams respond faster with more confidence. 🔗 This event is part of a series: https://aka.ms/DataDayslive/spark
