Agenda

Welcome
Jose Carlos De Oliveira - Devops Center: Healthy ALM thru Source-Driven Deployment	The presentation explains how Salesforce DevOps Center improves Application Lifecycle Management (ALM) by using Git as the single source of truth and enabling source-driven deployments instead of traditional org-based changes. It covers why sandboxes, CI/CD, and version control are important, the benefits of structured deployments, and common challenges like conflicts, dependencies, and sandbox sync issues. It also explains how DevOps Center works through pipelines and promotion stages, plus practical considerations when adopting it in real projects.
Pizza & Networking
