A role-based training plan makes sure each group of users gets the training it needs, based on what those users actually do in Salesforce every day. It pairs who needs training (users, grouped by role) with what they need to learn (scenarios). The goal is a scalable training program that is easy to use, consistent, and answers all user questions and needs.
Core information
  • Planning has three major steps: identify your audience, determine relevant training scenarios, then define your training plan. The plan comes last because it is built from the first two.
More details and nuances
  • The recommended plan for a brand new user runs in three stages across go-live: first Salesforce basics (Salesforce User Basics, Reports & Dashboards for Lightning Experience, Salesforce Mobile App Basics), then scenario training, then refresher topics.
