One in, one out: a simple way to keep tech debt under control

One in, one out is one of the few successful strategies for keeping a Salesforce Org clean. Every time you add a Field, Flow or Permission Set, you retire one too.

It works because it flips the question. Instead of “can we add this,” the team has to ask “what does this replace.”

Most Orgs don't die from one bad decision. They die from ten years of additions and zero subtractions.

What would you retire from your Org tomorrow if you had to pick one thing?
