Planning Isn't Complete Until You Know How To Get To The End
Good morning, Salesforce Nerds! Welcome to the second, in a series of five, newsletters dedicated to Salesforce Implementations and how to succeed using the five Project Management phases - Initiation, Planning, Execution, Monitor/Control, and Close.
This knowledge can scale up and down for small changes, like adding fields, to large and complex implementations of Salesforce solutions. They are applicable to Business Analysts, Project Managers, Salesforce Admins, Consultants, Developers, Architects, etc. You may be responsible for none, some, or all of these. Regardless, your awareness of them will add value to your career.
