The Importance of Community

As you’ve likely noticed, we launched a whole new website with the latest version of our product suite - and a key focus was fostering customers' connections with the Tableau community. For any product, a vibrant and strong user community is important. Users need to be able to connect with other users to learn how to use the product most effectively, to discover ways to apply it to their unique tasks and data, and to share their own insights and discoveries. Lately, I’ve been spending a lot of time with our customers working together to refine our product roadmap, and in that process I’ve discovered that community is especially important for us.
