In this presentation, titled ""From Chaos to Control: Advanced Salesforce ALM for Large-Scale Projects"", we’ll explore strategies to manage the complexities of Salesforce Application Lifecycle Management (ALM) in high-stakes, large-scale projects. When dealing with expansive teams and complex requirements, it’s common for processes to become chaotic, making effective ALM crucial to ensure organized, reliable, and high-quality development. We’ll start by reviewing core ALM components, including version control, sandbox management, automated testing, and release management, and discuss how each plays a role in maintaining order as projects grow. Managing complexity in large teams requires thoughtful strategies to coordinate diverse roles, interdependencies, and workflows. We'll look at ways to enhance alignment and communication, ensuring teams remain connected and efficient across phases. Adapting agile methodologies and DevOps for Salesforce introduces a new layer of scalability, transforming development and deployment cycles into streamlined, repeatable processes that meet the unique needs of big teams. Tools and automation are central to efficient ALM; we’ll explore tools that automate repetitive tasks, track changes seamlessly, and facilitate collaboration across various team roles. Real-world examples will illustrate how these techniques have helped organizations regain control over complex ALM processes, turning chaotic systems into structured, manageable workflows. Attendees will walk away with actionable insights on implementing ALM practices that reduce risk, improve collaboration, and support rapid, high-quality delivery on Salesforce. By the end of the session, they will be equipped with a solid foundation to transform Salesforce ALM into a controlled, scalable process that meets the demands of today’s complex projects and large teams. This presentation is tailored to guide teams through the transition from disarray to a cohesive ALM approach that brings clarity, efficiency, and consistent results.
