# Rollout Guidelines

Plan for your Salesforce Maps Advanced implementation and rollout. The better you prepare, the better your reps are able to meet with more customers in less time.

## Implementation Strategy

Because Salesforce Maps Advanced requires numerous configurations, consider appointing a dedicated project manager for your implementation.

- To verify your use case requirements, refer to the pre-implementation checklists in [Sample Scenarios for Salesforce Maps Advanced Routing](https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=sales.salesforce_maps_advanced_concepts_scenarios.htm&release=264.0.0&type=5 "Salesforce Maps Advanced routing supports complex use cases in pharmaceutical, consumer goods, food service, and other industries.").
- To gather the objects, fields, and business logic for visit plans, use the visit plan checklist in [Create Visit Plans](https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=sales.salesforce_maps_adv_visitplan.htm&release=264.0.0&type=5 "In Salesforce Maps Advanced, sales and service managers create visit plans that contain the input for reps’ routes.").

## Testing Strategy

Achieve a successful rollout and increase rep adoption by establishing a testing strategy. Test your product features before you release them to your teams. For example:

- Practice running route optimizations in a sandbox.
- Start small and plan visits for one rep who owns a defined set of records. Then identify configuration or user issues in the error log. Repeat the process for other users, then create visit plans for your teams.
