DevOps Center​

• DevOps Center lets you choose whether to manage your releases from its point-and-click interface, or directly from the source control system, or a combination of both. Under the hood, we manage the source control branches so developers and builders can focus on development tasks.​
• Because all changes are captured in a source control system, you have a single source of truth for configuration and code, which improves collaboration across all functions: admins, developers, release managers, QA, and other business stakeholders.​

What do you need to start with DevOps Center?

• Access to DevOps Center in Salesforce​
• Access to Dev Org, Dev Integrated Org, QA Org, and Stage Org​
• Access to GitHub, (BB is in Beta as of 11/26/2024)

Work Item-

In Salesforce DevOps Center, a work item is a logical unit of work that represents a collection of metadata changes for a project​

Because all changes are captured in a source control system, you have a single source of truth for configuration and code, which improves collaboration across all functions: admins, developers, release managers, QA, and other business stakeholders.​

A work item encapsulates information about an objective or task while it’s being worked on and is assigned to one individual. The work item is a historical record if questions arise about those changes. ​

Create Review ​

• Once work item is created and components get added, pls submit for review by clicking the “Create Review” button on Work item.​
• When a work item is reviewed and approved, you can change the status to Ready to Promote.​

Recommendation on Work Item​

• If a plan changes, or if a change conflicts with another change, you can change the status of a work item to Never. This will make the work item inactive and return the committed files to the list of available changes. ​
• Limit the number of work items​
• Combine work items​

Things to Remember​

• SF Devops center is in its initial stages, It's not as rich as other tools like Flosum or Copado or many more.​
• We will not have the cool feature that flosum had which is the Overwrite protection against the org.​
• BitBucket is support is still in Beta version
