Syllabus

Week by week.

2 weeks. Two live sessions every weekend and one assignment a week.

Week 01. The brewery data model

What a dashboard needs from the floor: batch codes, dates, volumes, gravities, losses
Cleaning the brew log: one row per batch, one unit per column, no merged cells
Joining brew, cellar, packaging and sales data on the batch code
Power BI: Power Query, the data model and your first DAX measure
Tableau: connecting, joining and your first calculated field
Brewhouse yield, beer loss and tank occupancy as measures, with the formulas

Assignment: Load last quarter's brew log into Power BI or Tableau and get yield per batch on screen.

Week 02. Dashboards people open

One page, five numbers: volume, yield, loss, days in tank, what sold
Fermentation curves and quality trends with control limits
Sales and depletions next to production, so stock stops surprising you
Power BI versus Tableau: licensing, sharing, refresh and where each one hurts
Refreshing the data without a person retyping it every Monday
The habit: a weekly ten-minute review, and what to do when a number moves

Assignment: Build your weekly brewery dashboard in the tool you chose and present it to the cohort.
