Methodology: The implementation lifecycle can be clearly documented, clearly understood and easily accessible as a process map. Mapping the methodology will streamline it, driving out waste, eliminating bottlenecks and breaking down organizational silos
Standards: Attaching documented standards to the related steps in the methodology ensures they can be consistently applied

Metadata management: Control of the Salesforce metadata and integrated apps across the deployment pipeline

Feedback can be captured from end users “in the moment” inside Salesforce. Training records are created when user sign-off compliant processes.
