Benefits of Trailhead

Salesforce Looks to Upskill Its Users With New Trailhead Playground App


Trailhead is a platform where you can learn all the relevant skills needed as a Salesforce admin, developer or even a Salesforce user. It differs from any other learning platforms in the ways it works. Learning topics are organized into modules, which are broken up into units. At the end of each unit, you would be required to finish an MCQ quiz or complete a hands-on challenge, in order to fulfil the unit and earn its points. Trails are groups of modules that provide guided learning paths suited to specific roles or needs. You can also customize your own trail, and choose the modules that you’re most interested in without following a pre-existing trail. 

 
You can interact with other Trailblazers in the Trailblazer Community. In the Trailblazer Community, joining groups both in-person and online can help you grow your network. Additionally, topics allow you to learn more about particular issues. Find and follow prominent subjects, add topics to your queries to start a discussion, and get responses from Trailblazers all over the world. You can also adhere to Trailblazers with whom you connect or with whom you have similar interests. Your feed will be updated when you follow a Trailblazer, a subject, or a group.

Time Management

Developers and Time Management 

 

What is time?

 
 

Physicists define time as the progression of events from the past to the present into the future. Time is very important in our lives. Time assists us in developing the habit of arranging and organizing our everyday activities. You may gain experience and improve talents through time if you appreciate the value of time better. Time is the most important resource since it cannot be reclaimed.

 

Time for Developers

 

Developers do not sell a product ; development is more of a service. This makes efficiency really important. Issues with time management can result in scope creep, missed deadlines, and budget overruns. Because many workplace tasks are shared, developers and other professionals collaborate to offer the client with a high-quality product. As a consequence, time management influences not only your productivity but also your teammates' operational processes and successes. Not to mention that the importance of a task or project is measured by how much time it takes.

Time Management Skills

 
 

A developer like any employee tries to have a work/life balance, but in the developer’s case it is a bit harder. From clients’ extra requests to new technologies introduced everyday, developers have a lot to handle. There are methods that could increase your efficiency including setting goals and prioritizing them. Setting goals keeps you motivated and on track. Moreover, time tracking is extremely important. You can either use sheets like excel or a time tracking app. Also, you write scripts for tasks that are repeated often to save time. To increase productivity take regular breaks; you should not be too hard on yourself.
