Workflows that Work: Gitflow vs Feature Independence

Gitflow and Feature Independence offer different strengths for Salesforce teams. Join us to learn how each workflow works, when to use them, and how to choose the approach that best supports your team's delivery goals.

About this webinar

Choosing the right branching and release workflow is one of the most important decisions a Salesforce team can make. Yet, most teams inherit a model – Gitflow, Feature Independence, or something in between – without ever stopping to ask whether it actually works for their scale, structure, or delivery goals.

In this session, Gearset experts Richard Owen and Jack McCurdy will unpack the strengths, trade-offs, and ideal use cases for both Gitflow and Feature Independence. Drawing from real customer journeys and hands-on experience supporting some of the world’s largest Salesforce teams, they’ll help you cut through the theory and understand what’s practical, measurable, and scalable in 2026.

Whether you’re re-evaluating your branching strategy, preparing for rapid growth, or trying to untangle release bottlenecks, this webinar will give you the clarity and guidance to make the workflow that works for your team.

We’ll cover:

  • The core differences between Gitflow and Feature Independence
  • How to choose the right model for your team’s size, culture, and structure
  • Practical strategies to reduce merge conflicts, bottlenecks, and cross-team friction
  • What we’ve learned from supporting thousands of Salesforce deployments
  • How modern tooling supports both models – and how to transition seamlessly
