Use the mission stories to help get you started. Press F1 to bring up the screen and choose some stories that sound interesting. It will walk you through pre scripted events that give you opening to assassinate the target. It will also teach you map knowledge like where certain items are, target pathing, where to aquire some uniforms and how to get around some guard locations.

Edit: The maps are also huge and diverse. Use your instinct to look for things that can help you out like pipes on the sides of buildings to help you climb up to the next level or props like vacuums, radios, tvs etc that can grab a guards attention and peel them away from others for a stealthy knockout.

Here is a video if you prefer, it says hitman 2, but how I do it still works perfectly in hitman WOA, the mission hasn't changed. Note, the video contains spoilers, so only watch it if you're ok with that.

Also, I played this on master, things are slightly different if on professional, the IAGO invitation is in a bathroom to the right of the main entrance, it gets you past the first couple of check points to reach the upper levels.

SPOILER ALERT!!! Do NOT watch unless you want the mission spoiled.

https://www.hitmaps.com/ <--- a very useful community site with interactive maps that helps you with finding stuff (for the vast majority of NPCs, will not point out where the NPCs are, but will mention a few).

Any NPC with a filled in dot above the head are considered an enforcer of your current disguise, and will see you un;ess you are hidden, including blending into the crowd (circle that shows while blending in is how close the npc has to be to see you)

Sorry I don't know the keybinds on controllers.
