Attention guys,
This blog is designed for Lightning Experience.
In my last blog your learned what are the basics of
Lightning experience. If you didn’t check it then I would suggest go to Learn Salesforce Lightning Experience Basics In 15 Minutes and learn it. It will take hardly 15-20 minutes to
learn those. It included the all basics which are required you before start the
Lightning experience.
In this blog you will learn how to develop a rollout
strategy to help your company and the users get started with new user interface
which is the Lightning experience.
As you know in Lightning Experience, Salesforce
focused on sales representative users and to support their sales processes with
the new user interface which help sales representative users to sale faster.
But Lightning Experience is not only for sales cloud
users, it also for the service, wave analytic, platform, apps and many more.
Lightning Experience is available for all users which
include salesforce existing customers and new customers. If you are salesforce
classic user i.e. existing user or the new user and want to study or evaluate
the impact of enablement of Lightning Experience in your org, then this blog
will definitely help you to plan your rollout strategy from start to end. And obviously
you know strategy is very important whenever you are working on any project not
in salesforce but in all projects.
In Roll out, you just extend business functionality to
new breach from corporate office which may be a creation of new company code OR
just creation of a new plant based on business process or requirement. Roll out
steps are Preparation, Business Blueprint, Realization, Final Preparation and Go-Live
& Support.
Let’s say you are the Salesforce Admin for your
company. You have to decide whether to start with a pilot for a set of users (you
can say it is like a preview) and gather the reviews from them or go for all and
enable for all users at once. If your company employee strength(size) is big
i.e. 3000+ users, then you might need Project manager for this rollout.
But
before start design or plan spend time to learn pros and cons of Lightning
Experience interface. You have to find out your stakeholders, sponsors,
multiple roles executives which are all affected department and group them all
and create one committee. You need executive support to ensure you have got
resources and alignment them to succeed i.e. from start to finish. Share
everything which you know about Lightning Experience with your new form team or
group. Once you and your team know benefits of Lightning Experience, you are fully
ready prepared for business and technical evaluation for Lightning Experience.
With Lightning Experience rollout, you can perform
your salesforce org gap analysis it will help you to know what are the
workarounds you need to perform certain actions. For such analysis salesforce
provide a tool to make light work of this analysis. Its Lightning Experience Readiness
Check!!!
Here are the steps:
- Go to Setup and search for Lightning Experience Migration Assistant.
- Click on Get started.
- Click on the Check Readiness tab in the Migration Assistant.
- Lastly click on Check Readiness.
After this, Salesforce generate one PDF which is
Readiness report and mail the same. Also Salesforce save this PDF in Salesforce
files which you can access in future.
This Readiness report help you to find out Lightning
Experience recommendations and advice. The Lightning Readiness check report
does not analyze all Salesforce configurations and customization.
Then what are the best ways to find out how your
salesforce org configurations and customization work in Lightning Experience
before enable it in production?
- Use the Salesforce Lightning Experience Migration Assistant Preview.
- If you have any sandbox for your production org, then this is the ideal place to enable Lightning user interface and check configurations and customization.
- If you don’t have any sandbox, then use salesforce Developer Edition and enable Lightning Experience and test it.
After evaluation of the Impact, you are ready to showcase
all advantages of Lightning Experience, and highlight the gaps which you found
in Lightning Readiness check.
While presentation or in demonstration, make sure what
you demo has data. Do not forgot to record your session, in future you can
share with the members which could not attend the session.
Once you get GREEN Signal from your executive
sponsors, then it`s time to execute your Strategy.
Here are some steps which you can perform for smooth
transition:
1. Decide
the users which will work on Lightning Experience:
Right now you can use custom profiles
or permission sets to enable Lightning Experience.
This help you for pilot
release of Lightning Experience. If you are implementing this approach, then
consider the following:
- Instead of updating custom profiles, Create Permission set for the Lightning Experience User permission and assign it to particular team or groups or users.
- If you found any gaps in Lightning Readiness check then exclude those users who are using that particular functionality.
You have your team members list,
create chatter group add those team members and start broadcasting relevant
updates, share project schedule files.
3. Create
proper project schedule:
Which include All assigned task with
task status which is easy to understand status of this project.
4. Marketing and Communication strategy:
- Email campaigning which include highlighting the coming launch and a “feature of the week”.
- Create a topic in Chatter for all your users.
Conduct training session for users
and educate them how to use new features of Salesforce.
You can replace your customized functionality with
salesforce configuration functionality which are:
