A Day in the Life of a Salesforce Architect

Morning

You start off the day reviewing an application feature design from one of your teams. You check that the design follows best practices, considers the user experience, and meets the business goals—all while being technically feasible, scalable, and maintainable.

Midmorning

Next up, respond to a request from a potential client. You look up documentation, review previous work for similar clients, and generate solution overviews, proof-of-concept designs/applications while gathering initial system landscapes or project documents.

After Lunch

You run a discovery workshop for a new client to uncover their business challenges and goals.

Late Afternoon

After reviewing the results of your discovery workshop, a colleague asks you to review a presentation deck for a client. You review and add your suggestions to the deck keeping in mind what is feasible from a time and technology standpoint.
