Minor Changes with limited impact, such as a new workflow rule or trigger impacting a single business process. These releases typically require testing, but limited training and change management, and are delivered within a few weeks. Major Changes with significant impact, including configuration and code changes with one or more dependencies. Because these releases greatly affect the user experience and data quality, they require thorough testing, training, and careful change management. Major releases typically occur once a quarter (or like Salesforce, three times a year). Releasing on the same day of the week for minor and major releases is a best practice.
