We recently hosted a Community Q&A Challenge inviting members to test their skills in Polaris modeling and optimization. Our internal experts developed a series of challenges, featuring a module rebuild alongside optimization challenges focused on the optimization of high calculation effort and high calculation complexity.
Theresa Reid ( @TheresaR), Architecture and Performance Director, and Seb McMillan (@seb_mcmillan), Principal Platform Adoption Specialist shared their expert perspectives as they walked through the challenges, providing insights on effective problem-solving strategies. They also shared their go-to optimization techniques and answered Polaris questions from the audience.

We highly recommend taking the Level 2 Model Building in Polaris course. In the words of our host, @TheresaR, it is the best way to "shift your mindset and instill the model building methods that will help you succeed in Polaris."
*In order to gain access to this training, you must have completed Level 1.
