To meet Cloud Kicks' requirement of having Sales Cloud ready in time for the global conference, implementing Sales Cloud with its out-of-the-box features is the most effective strategy. This allows the team to start using core features for tracking accounts, contacts, and opportunities immediately. Iterative improvements can be made as feedback is gathered, ensuring a usable solution is in place while enhancements are made incrementally.
Setting metrics and reducing scope can be helpful, but implementing Sales Cloud in its default form provides the quickest route to functionality. Salesforce supports iterative deployment, especially in time-sensitive projects, to ensure initial usability while refinements are underway.
