The software development industry has best practices and software such as git that facilitates effective collaboration across multiple users. Alteryx has a slightly different model that doesn't lend itself to this method of managment.

I'd love to hear from from manager/s of large teams that have solved this problem. To wit:

- Do they use a third-party software or service as a VCS? If so, what and why?

- What traditional software development best practices do they use and which were rejected as not fitting the way Alteryx works?

- Have they solved the problem of forking/merging? How?

- How do they manage their macros as the number grows?

- Best practices around documentation?

I would like to see a session that reviews the dynamic tools with use cases. The dyamnic tools have good applications, but it would be nice to see how to transform a regular workflow into a dynamic one. It could go through the dynamic input, dynamic output, dynamic replace, and dynamic select.

Lot's of the data we have reside in unstructured or semi-structured sources...

Really would love to see best practice cases on parsing sources such as;

• web pages with or without tables for competitior price monitoring
• PDF documents like bunch of CV's for HR analytics
• Lists of internal E-mail communications for auditing
• Social media data like Facebook timeline

For the unstructured case;

• Getting a series of photographs for analytics,
• Radar, sonar or similar sound data for preventive maintenance into Alteryx
