What the exam expects
- Respond to low adoption by measuring first (logins, feature usage, record activity, data quality, by region and role), then choosing a targeted fix.
- Recommend reinforcement after launch: manager-led pipeline reviews, super users, recognition, feedback loops and training on each new capability.
- Handle changing business requirements with governance: one intake, a prioritized backlog with an owner, and a tested release cadence.
- Manage user access after go-live: find inactive users from login history, freeze or deactivate, and adjust permissions without new profiles.
- Plan continuous improvement and show ROI against the pre-launch benchmark.
Key terms:
- Super user: a passionate user who knows the process and helps peers.
- Feedback loop: a channel for suggestions plus a visible way to share their progress and priority.
- Product backlog: the single, ordered list of requested work, prioritized by the product owner.
- Freeze vs deactivate: freeze blocks login only; deactivate removes access and makes the license available (billing changes only when the org's license count changes).
