CHANGE FAIL RATE IS AN AGILITY PERFORMANCE INDICATOR
Change fail rate is a key agility performance indicator that can be used to better understand the success or failure of an organization’s Salesforce environment. Organizations must monitor change fail rate to ensure that short-term and long-term goals are met. Enterprise users of Salesforce solutions may not be aware of the steps they should take to monitor change fail rate as an indicator of their salesforce system’s overall agility performance. Additionally, those users must understand the connection each factor has to Salesforce release management, data backup and recovery, and security solutions in order to ensure their success. The concept of change fail rate pertains to the success or failure of an organization’s ability to move their salesforce environment from one point in time to another. This change could include anything from an upgrade, a new application, a new feature, a patch or bug fix, or some other change in hardware, software, or techniques. This metric measures how well each released change is adopted and implemented. In order to find the rate of change success or failure, it is necessary to first define and measure the real-time situation. This process begins with devising and collecting data. The collected data will be used to analyze the current salesforce system and to gain an understanding of the validity of the changes that have been made. Results from the analysis helps you determine which changes are successful and which ones are causing problems. Once a clear understanding of the current state is achieved, the organization can then set the goals and objectives for the change. It is important to consider how the change will affect the organization’s overall agility performance. Factors to consider include the cost of the change, the impact on user productivity, the risks, and the timeline for implementation. Ultimately, the ultimate success or failure of any change will be found in the results of its implementation. It is therefore important to collect measurements that determine how well the change has been adopted and implemented. Gathering measurements help organizations compare the current state of the system with the changes that have been implemented. The difference between the two can then be used to measure the change’s succeed rate. Depending on the situation, an organization may decide to raise or lower the threshold rate for change fail rate monitoring. For projects that require more attention to detail, such as salesforce releases, organizations may want to set a higher change fail rate threshold. For changes that have more leniency, such as data backup, organizations may want to set a lower threshold. Organizations looking to capitalize on change fail rate as a key agility performance indicator must also consider their Salesforce release management, data backup and recovery, and security solutions. Change fail rate monitoring must factor in any and all resources needed to achieve the desired results. This means organizations must be sure to have the right tools in place to protect their environment. At the end of the day, organizations must monitor change fail rate in order to ensure that short-term and long-term goals are met. This is important to achieving optimal agility performance of their Salesforce environment. Additionally, it allows organizations to more effectively manage their Salesforce release management, data backup and recovery, and security solutions. By taking an active role in understanding change fail rate, enterprises can maximize their Salesforce performance.
