Understanding Looker Studio in the Analyst Workflow

This lesson positions Looker Studio inside the analyst workflow: moving from business questions to data sources, modeled fields, dashboard pages, stakeholder review, and ongoing maintenance. It clarifies what Looker Studio is best at, where analysts need to be careful, and how to think about a dashboard as an analytical product rather than a collection of charts.

By the end of the lesson, learners should understand the main parts of Looker Studio, the difference between reporting and analysis, and the responsibilities analysts carry when turning data into shared decisions.
