Salesforce release cycles often create last-minute learning pressure for admins and developers.
Teams suddenly need to understand new features, workflow changes, or configuration updates while UAT is already moving.

One practical way to reduce that pressure is using release periods as a trigger for targeted certification prep and skills refreshes.
Not broad retraining. Just focused preparation for the areas affected by upcoming changes.

When teams review relevant material earlier, release testing usually becomes less reactive and post-release surprises become easier to manage.

Corporate Credits give teams flexibility to distribute study guides and practice exams where new learning needs actually appear.
Probably worth discussing before the next release cycle starts.

Struggling to find ABAP developers who can build S/4HANA-ready, clean-core extensions?

Many SAP teams still rely on talented developers using patterns that were designed for a different era. That works until it doesn't: upgrades take longer, clean-core audits flag more exceptions, and BTP projects require skills the team has not needed before.

K2 University's RAP Transactional Apps course helps developers build the skills needed for modern SAP development:
- Align with SAP's recommended extensibility model
- Build Fiori-ready applications using proper business objects and services
- Reduce technical debt and simplify future upgrades

For organizations on an S/4HANA or BTP journey, RAP is now a standard expectation in senior ABAP roles.
The next cohort starts September 21.

Salesforce is retiring 24 certifications. Our honest advice: most people shouldn't rush to sit one of those affected.

Announced this week: 24 certifications are retiring on February 1, 2027, including CPQ Administrator, B2B Solution Architect, and Nonprofit Success Pack Consultant. Another 16 are being renamed as of July 24, 2026, most of them gaining "Agentforce" in their titles.

Three things to note:

1. Your existing credentials aren't disappearing. Retired certifications stay on your Trailblazer profile and remain verifiable by employers.

2. The renames need no action. No retakes, no content changes. But the pattern is clear: the catalog is now organized around agents, not clouds.

3. July 24 is the last day to register for a retiring exam. For most people, that deadline doesn't matter, because studying for a credential with months of shelf life left is a poor trade. But it does matter if you're close to exam-ready, working on a legacy product, or bound by a partner requirement.

The smarter question is what to study instead. We've broken down the successor path for every retiring credential, from CPQ to Revenue Cloud, and from Marketing Cloud to the Agentforce Marketing certification expected in late 2026.
