Packing Light: Lean Project Planning in Salesforce to Cut Waste and Deliver Faster

Planning a summer adventure? You know the drill: pack light, carry only what you need, and plan with purpose.

Now apply that same philosophy to your Salesforce project.

One of the biggest causes of technical debt and delayed delivery is overpacking your project. In trying to do it all, teams dilute focus and burn out quickly. That’s where the CAMP Methodology comes in.

With over 20 years in architecture and Salesforce project delivery, I developed CAMP (Contained Agile Methodology Process) to help teams eliminate waste, control scope, and focus on delivering value fast.

Here are 5 strategies from the CAMP playbook to trim the fat from your project:

1. Start with a Clear MVP for Lean Project Planning in Salesforce Avoid the trap of trying to deliver everything in one go. Identify the minimum viable product that solves your core user needs and build from there.
   

2. Use Prioritization Frameworks Techniques like MoSCoW or RICE ensure that time and effort go where it matters most. CAMP integrates these into the sprint prep process.
   

3. Review Backlogs Ruthlessly Treat your backlog like your hiking pack. If you haven’t needed it in 2 sprints, it probably doesn’t belong in the next one.
   

4. Facilitate Lean Kickoff Rituals

   CAMP emphasizes lean, focused kickoff meetings where scope and effort are validated. No fluff. Just function.
   

5. Build Feedback Loops Early

   Frequent demos and user validation help refine direction and prevent scope bloat mid-sprint.
   

The result? Faster delivery, better alignment, and higher team morale.
