When you’re starting to plan for your Salesforce implementation, one important step is to define people’s roles and their involvement.
In a decently-sized project, you’ll most likely need an analyst, an architect, developers, admins, testers, a project manager, and people working change management.
As you’re building your team, you may not always have the chance to choose the all-stars from your company. So you’ll probably end up mixing seniors with juniors.
Just make sure the juniors are somewhat shielded from the end client. You don’t want them to really notice some weaker people are on the project.
Further, not everyone is needed at full capacity from the very beginning to the very end.
For example, the architect will probably be used more regularly during the initial parts and less used towards the end. By comparison, most likely the testers are not used at the beginning, but are used more often in the middle to later parts.
The takeaway
Knowing who is doing what, and when they are actually needed helps with time and attention efficiency.
