Description

Find out why the initial promise of faster releases with Copado met a challenging reality for Jeb Garrott, Director of Salesforce Platform. While the business expected his team to move faster, the actual overhead on the team was unsustainable, cutting into team members’ work-life balance with people having to stay overnight to deploy changes.

The switch to Gearset brought significant improvements in responsiveness and sustainability. Jeb’s team can now react quickly to urgent business needs, even same-day requests without causing major disruption to his team. Handling these urgent changes has become much quicker and more efficient, similar to a standard release with the help of Gearset.

When we got Capata, the expectation from the business was, hey. We have this tool. We're going to be able to move quicker, faster, with the same team and be able to get more, changes out. And the the fact was we were getting a good number of changes out, but the overhead on our team was pretty tremendous. We had people stay in overnight. It it wasn't sustainable what we were doing.

From the business side, I would say the biggest thing is our ability to to react to changes. So if something's needed and they need it today, I can I don't have to take the whole team down? I don't have to take the release manager down. It's more like, hey. We it's it's similar, time needed as if we did any other change.

So it's not we're and we're able to do it much quicker.
