How accurate are these timeline estimates?

Our timeline estimates are based on data from 500+ Salesforce implementations. For standard implementations, estimates are typically within 10-20% of actual timelines. Complex or highly customized implementations may have more variation.

What factors most impact implementation timelines?

The most significant factors are: number of features implemented, complexity of customizations, data migration volume, number of integrations with other systems, and organizational readiness (including executive sponsorship and user adoption planning).

Can implementation timelines be accelerated?

Yes, timelines can be accelerated through: phased implementation approaches, dedicated resources, AI-assisted implementation tools, pre-built templates, and experienced implementation partners. However, rushing implementation can increase risk and reduce quality.

How does data volume affect implementation time?

Data volume primarily impacts the data migration phase. Small volumes (under 100k records) have minimal impact, medium volumes (100k-1M records) can extend timelines by 30%, and large volumes (over 1M records) can extend timelines by 60% or more due to additional cleansing, mapping, and validation requirements.

What are typical implementation phases?

A standard Salesforce implementation includes: Discovery & Planning (15% of timeline), Design & Configuration (30%), Data Migration (20%), Testing & Validation (15%), and Training & Deployment (20%). Each phase has specific deliverables and milestones.
