Challenges
This customer was ready to upgrade their Salesforce to Lightning and they wanted to completely leverage the new functionality. They have 1800 Salesforce users and wanted all of them to have opportunity to learn and practice on Lightning before the upgrade.
They were seeking a training that would be suitable for end users as well as power users. They suggested the trainings last 1 hour each and asked for supporting documents and tools to help with ongoing learning and adoption such as reference guides and video tutorials.

Solutions
Stony Point spent time with their team to determine ways to improve adoption. Stony Point planned this mass training with 3 areas in mind: curriculum; registration, trainer prep and training delivery; post-training coaching and reinforcement.
The following trainings were scheduled within a 4 week period:
All trainings were delivered virtually over GoToMeeting with a live instructor. Each training consisted of short segments of lecture followed by demonstration and a chance for students to practice the tasks. A sandbox (fully configured Salesforce test environment) was used so that students would learn on actual customizations and could work with familiar customer data during the hands-on practice.
Stony Point's proprietary class registration system that is built on Salesforce was used to track registration and attendance.
Stony Point also created a reference guide for end users; the students had this guide during the training to help them follow along.
