- Recently, Alteryx started an analytics podcast called Alter.Everything. All episodes are available on Community and on SoundCloud.
USE CASE
Chris Lewis, Whole Foods Market
I discussed how to approach Alteryx Analytic Apps from a developer standpoint. How does one decide to build the workflow or User Interface first and what are the pros and cons of each method of development?
One great slide we spent some time on:
Team Challenge!
After our good discussion on analytic apps and how to leverage a good development cycle with them, we then introduced/re-introduced to some Alteryx community weekly challenges!
Everyone had a blast with the challenges, and we shared that Weekly challenges aren't just for you to solve, but to learn how others solve problems. There is a ton of value in seeing how others approach and solve problems. You can find easier ways to accomplish tasks within Alteryx, being there are at least 5 ways to solve every problem with Alteryx.
We also had a bunch of snacks for the attendees and got to use a killer room with some awesome decor!
