A big week with 41 new confessions taking the total to 718. So a couple of confessions showing the cost of no impact analysis:

Confession #707

I deleted one custom field that blew up 40+ reports, 3 dashboards, and two weeks of my life.

Confession #709

Our original Admin decided that a field was no longer needed/used. She changed the API name to have an ‘x’ at the beginning. 30 seconds after hitting save the help desk phone started ringing. A lot.

To help avoid more confessions we've launched training on business analysis, Org impact analysis and Org documentation train.elements.cloud
