The Ten-Minute Trick That Makes Your Sigma App Feel More “App-like”

Challenge
FBT Gibbons had been on the Sigma platform for nearly a year but felt they were not getting the most out of it. Several of their users were also transitioning off legacy Power BI, which left the team with an uneven skill base. They needed to bring experienced and newer users to a common level of proficiency and make sure everyone could take full advantage of Sigma, including its newest AI features and the built-in Claude integration.
Solution
Maverick Data designed and delivered a two-day, in-person “Succeeding with Sigma” course tailored to FBT Gibbons, co-led by Spencer Baucke and Cassandra McMorrow. The curriculum progressed session by session so that by the second day every attendee had built reports in Sigma on their own. Geared toward build-license users, the course spanned core foundations through Sigma’s newest AI capabilities, including the Claude integration for self-service analytics. The class concluded with teams completing a capstone project that sparked discussion around future applications of the platform.
Result
FBT Gibbons brought its experienced and newly transitioning users to a shared baseline of Sigma proficiency, closing the gap between Power BI veterans and first-time Sigma builders. All 18 attendees left having built reports hands-on, with a clear understanding of how data modeling and the Claude integration unlock self-service beyond traditional dashboards. The engagement positioned the team to get more value from a platform they had underused, with a foundation to keep advancing their Sigma practice going forward.
