Which function of the application development lifecycle does establishing a Center of Excellence address?

Establishing a Center of Excellence (CoE) addresses the governance function of the application

development lifecycle. A CoE provides leadership, best practices, and oversight to ensure consistent

and effective use of Salesforce across the organization:

Governance: Ensures that there are clear policies, standards, and guidelines for managing and using

Salesforce.

Best Practices: The CoE promotes best practices for development, deployment, and ongoing

management of Salesforce applications.

By focusing on governance, a CoE helps maintain the integrity, quality, and strategic alignment of

Salesforce initiatives within the nonprofit.
