Welcome to CAMP: The Rules of the Trail for Successful Salesforce Projects

Every successful journey, from climbing a mountain to launching a major Salesforce implementation, relies on a set of rules.

These aren't arbitrary constraints; they are proven principles that keep you safe, on track, and focused on the summit.

Why Rules Matter in Salesforce Projects

Salesforce projects are notorious for scope creep, technical debt, and delayed launches. Why? Often, it's a lack of foundational rules agreed upon before the work even starts.

Without clear rules:

• Teams wander: Roles are blurry, priorities shift, and rework becomes common.

• Risk increases: Unmanaged change requests lead to budget overruns.

• Value is lost: The focus shifts from solving business problems to simply "launching."

Our experience has shown that the biggest gains in project efficiency and client satisfaction come not from a new tool, but from a shared, simple, and effective methodology.

What is Contained Agile Methodology Process (CAMP)^TM for successful Salesforce Projects ?

Contained Agile Methodology Process (CAMP)^TM is a proprietary, 8-rule agile framework developed by Nicole McGuire, the Founder of Trail Guide CRM that distills decades of experience in high-stakes CRM projects into actionable guidance leading to successful implementation of Salesforce Projects.

Contained Agile Methodology Process (CAMP)^TM stands for:

1. Contained = control or restrain

2. Agile = able to move quickly and easily

3. Methodology = a system of methods used in a particular area of study or activity

4. Process = a series of actions or steps taken in order to achieve a particular end

“Contained Agile Methodology Process (CAMP)^TM is a repeatable process to design, build, and deliver on projects time after time!”

The eight rules we’ll cover over the next eight weeks map directly to these four pillars, providing a practical blueprint for project leaders, product owners, and delivery teams.
