25. Who should be on my COE team?
It’s more about the people than the structure
The individuals you select are more important than their experience
• Open minded, eager about leveraging modern technology.
• Enlist those with little or no experience; attitude can be just as important as aptitude.
• Potentially staff the COE with skeptics.
Start with a small team of 3-5 people that are passionate about the cause
• Check egos at the door.
• Be both highly reactive and proactive.
• Create development paths for the people.
Minimal technical roles required are Architecture, Salesforce Expertise, Exec Sponsorship
• Enlist part-time roles to bring in expertise (project managers, BAs, trainers, QA/UAT, legal, HR,
adoption, scrum team leaders, etc.)
26. Should it report to the Business or to IT?
Not a question of where, but who
Where it reports to is not as important as the executives support it receives
Find a proactive, supportive VP-level or above, executive sponsor to drive the COE.
Secure funding for the COE and treat it like a business
Successful COEs need 2 years of funding before they become self sufficient.
Time to build a governance process, collaboration efforts and evangelize its merits across the firm.
Executive sponsor is responsible to commit to and sustain the financial support.
I prefer a sponsor from the business side
