Change, Release Management and DevOps with Salesforce - Survey #3: Change Sets
This survey is one in a series that we are using to gather inputs as we design and plan for future improvements in the product area of Change and Release Management when developing on Salesforce.

This survey is targeted at users of Change Sets.

Please answer these questions in the context of a given production org environment.  If you work with multiple production orgs, please feel free to submit multiple survey responses if your answers would be different.  

Unless otherwise specified, consider the Outbound Change Set as being in a development sandbox (a sandbox where you do development), and the Inbound Change Set being in the downstream/target org from that development sandbox.
