Need To Know
For February, our development team focused on a new and exciting integration between our product team and the product idea boards! The first phase is almost complete, so you might see a few odd behaviors in the area that we’ll be continuing to iron out. More news on this integration to come!
Additionally, we made a few updates to our new polling feature, to help it stand out a bit more and correct the odd look it had when in dark mode.
We’ve also made several updates to streamline background functionalities, to help the community to continue to run smoothly. We look forward to continuing our development of both big and small features to optimize the Community experience as much as possible!

Now is a great time to race over to our podcast page to hear our episode featuring McLaren Racing's CEO, Zac Brown! He shared how McLaren is using AI and analytics to optimize their strategies on and off the track. There is also a Community blog to go along with the episode that contains a demo of Alteryx Machine Learning with racing data.
On the Engine Works blog, @AlexG walked us through a fun use case for using Databricks with Alteryx Analytics Cloud. We also learned from @_PavelP how to use the Alteryx DCM Migration tool. Finally, @carolloj shared his tips and insights when it comes to change management and building a center of excellence. (Look for him on the podcast in March too!)
Closing
For all of you who contributed to the Community last month, whether it was by asking and answering questions, posting on Gallery, solving a challenge, or writing a blog, we appreciate you!
