Roadmap
Two steps forward, one step back. The core structure of the guide is in place, and the heavy-lifting of fleshing out the skeleton is underway.
| Stage |  | |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Setup Confluence and BitBucket subscriptions. | |

| 4 | Include sample images throughout, linked to source. | |
| 5 | Draft selected pages as sample content. | |
| 6 | Tag pages that are incomplete (tbd), having missing glossary entries (tbd-glossary), and to indicate page type (dita-concept, dita-reference, dita-task). Sweep (tbd)s before complete subsequent tasks. | |
| 7 | From Pipeline page, outline the tasks, checklists, and setup steps needed. | |
| 8 | Complete Ant Build targets and Python helper scripts. | |
| 9 | Document setup for AWS build agents. | |

| |
| 11 | Consider porting Python scripts to Node using https://github.com/oozcitak/xmlbuilder-js or equivalent. | |
| 12 | Subscribe to JIRA, Bamboo, and HipChat. Register for CodeScan trial. (Confluence and BitBucket are setup.) | |
| 13 | Configure new DreamOps Amazon account (dreamops.infra@gmail.com) for use with AWS and Associates program. | |
| 14 | Install Bamboo and CodeScan on AWS instances. | |
| 15 | Setup ActionPlan app using DreamOps pipeline and best practices.
| |
| 16 | Extend the Elements of DreamOps Style, as needed. | |

- Complete, repeatable process
- Opinionated but transferable
- Working code
- Transparency
Methods - How do we get it?
- Set the context with starter content
- Adopt and adapt working practices
- “Fast, simple and right the first time”
- Build prototype using stated practices
- Open source licensing to simplify adoption
- ASF-style collaboration
Obstacles - What might stand in the way?
- Volunteer effort with no funding
- Stop and go development
- Ambitious scope
- Overlap with Salesforce DX
Measures - How will we know when you have it?
- Fully-functional example
- We practice what we preach
- Community is providing feedback
- Volunteers are sharing the work
(TBD). The newly released DreamOps Guide helps Salesforce developers implement continuous delivery on the Force.com platform with step-by-step instructions that you can use to develop, package, release, monitor, and upgrade managed packages.
The guide is an independent, open-content resource maintained by frontline Salesforce developers. It is geared toward scrum teams working on managed packages with over two million characters of Apex code.
As the scope of an enterprise-grade managed application grows, additional resources are needed to support rich implementations. The guide includes over thirty core capabilities that you can use to streamline advanced development, such as metadata automation, dark launching, and usage monitoring.
If you regularly update an enterprise-grade package then this guide can help you deliver more value. Guaranteed.
Get more done, better and faster, by following the tried-and-true DreamOps path.
