Unlocking Time Profit in Your Salesforce Delivery	Salesforce delivery teams are faced with the growing demands of writing and testing their solutions, but many still struggle to find the time and resources to deliver defect free, quality tested software. Spoiler alert: they’re also losing time that takes away from the time profit of digital transformations in their organization. Have you ever heard the statement, “I'm a good developer so I don’t have to test?” Unfortunately, this is the same logic as not wearing your seatbelt because you’re a good driver. Accidents happen. It’s always best to identify & correct a problem before everyone else finds out about it. Exactly what are the odds of there being a problem? The average Salesforce delivery program has about 500 test scripts and the average test script takes about 25 minutes to complete. For comprehensive test coverage on all 500 scripts, you will need 6,250 labor hours to achieve this. So, with 500 scripts and over 6,000 hours there is a lot of opportunity to miss something or make mistakes. What if I told you that you only need one resource who can execute your entire testing cycle in less than a day? Many people have said that testing cycles are a bottleneck. What if it’s your testing strategy that’s creating your bottleneck? Afterall, your teams are designing more intuitive ways for your users so why not learn more about using more intuitive tools in how you deliver them? In this interactive session, Josh McNamara, Senior Salesforce Strategist at Provar will leverage his leadership experience working with global delivery teams to help you identify the hidden costs of human error and how to create time profit in your continuous delivery by using the right tools. In addition, demo attendees will be introduced to the Provar code-free test automation platform, as a vehicle to help your teams scale your Salesforce portfolio. Come for strategies for unlocking time profit in your software delivery, stay for raffle prizes and gifts from your community at Provar.
Salesforce DX for Admins	Salesforce pro, Nancy Boarman, will share her expertise on Salesforce DX. Specifically tailored to give Admins insight, Nancy will review new tricks for building and deploying without spending a gazillion dollars on comprehensive DevOps apps (by using not-so-scary developer tools) To take part in the hands-on learning Nancy will provide, please pre-install the following and bring your laptops!!!
