Overview

Measure twice, cut once – As the scope of an enterprise-grade managed application grows, additional resources are needed to support rich implementations. The DreamOps Guide includes over thirty core capabilities that you can use to streamline and enrich package development.

Pipeline

 – We are what we repeatedly do – The Force.com platform has all the components we need to build an efficient deployment pipeline and support continuous delivery of enterprise-grade managed packages. The goal of continuous delivery is to increase customer satisfaction by being able to distribute an updated release at any time. The DreamOps Experience extends the base components with other capabilities that all devops professionals should want in their toolbelt.

Roles

Many hands make light work – Offering software as a service requires a broad range of skills, from coding, to testing, to writing. Some people are able to focus on a single role, others juggle multiple roles. Either way, we step through the responsibilities of each role in isolation, so you can concentrate on one job at a time.
