11. Cons
• Doesn’t scale well
• No automation, destructive changes
• Can be slow to appear – 30 mins plus
• Connected Orgs Only
• Profiles behave unexpectedly
12. When to Use
• Frequently
• Small to medium changes
• Administrator only skillset
• One-off deliveries
• Separation of Duties
29. Upgrade Windows
• Three Salesforce releases/year
• Multi-week rollout
• Different source/target versions
• Tools can become flaky
30. Manual Changes
• Not everything is deployable
• Manual changes are required
• Document in release instructions
• Four eyes principle
31. Rolling Back
• Not possible on Salesforce!
• Strategy depends on tool
• Create “undo” artefacts/instructions
• Production deploy – refresh sandbox
– Complete snapshot of original
config
32. And finally
• Technology is part of the solution
• Governance may influence decision
• Soft requirements:
– Communication
– Training
– User Lockout
