Agentforce 3 (or 3.0) is packed with enhancements that address the ecosystem’s concerns about visibility, control, and integration, which have been ongoing for the past few months. It features new updates, including new ways to monitor your agents, as well as the ability to connect to external enterprise tools.

The Ideal Framework for Architecting Salesforce Lightning Web Components

There are best practices for nearly everything in Salesforce, and even if you consider yourself an absolute master at Lightning Web Components (LWCs), there is always more to learn!

When building Lightning Web Components (LWCs) at scale, it’s crucial to apply a structured architectural framework to keep code clean, reusable, and easy to maintain. A layered approach – one that separates the user interface, business logic, and data access into distinct parts – is a good way to tackle this. The LWC itself handles presentation, a service layer manages logic, and adapter files interact with Salesforce data. This setup prevents components from becoming bloated or overly complex as they grow in functionality.

By following consistent naming conventions and organizing files into clear folders, developers can better collaborate across teams, onboard new members faster, and reduce long-term technical debt. That’s a win, right?

Diving Deep Into Agentforce 3 With Salesforce SVP Sanjna Parulekar

So, Agentforce 3.0 has been officially launched, and the ecosystem has started weighing in. With lots of questions making the rounds and an air of skepticism that continues to linger, Salesforce Ben sat down with Salesforce’s SVP of Product Marketing, Sanjna Parulekar, to clear the air.

Agentforce 3.0 marks a significant evolution in Salesforce’s AI strategy, shifting from experimental use cases to production-ready capabilities. Sanja explained how the new features – particularly the Model Context Protocol (MCP) – enable better control, governance, and scalability for AI agents. These updates aim to address earlier concerns from the ecosystem, including monitoring and trust, by making it easier to integrate Agentforce into existing workflows and tech stacks.

Sanjna emphasizes that success with Agentforce starts with thoughtful design, treating agents as digital teammates rather than quick automation tools, created off the back of ecosystem feedback. As adoption grows, Salesforce is focusing on giving users the structure and confidence to build agents that deliver measurable business value.

Salesforce Military Has Been Revived: What to Expect from the Community

After a long bout of uncertainty and lack of concrete direction, Salesforce has announced that the Salesforce Military program is back in business.

The company revealed that the program will now be led by Tom House and Josh Mendez, taking over from SVP of the Salesforce Trailblazer Community Leah McGowen-Hare. This movement has been spurred on by feedback from the wider community, who pushed to make this resource available again for the people who need it most.

If you were to ask many members of the community about this, they would likely tell you that this revival effort has been long overdue. Leah stepping up was the first step, but this new decision signals that Salesforce has decided to restructure the program’s leadership to allow the most relevant members of the community to step up to the task.

Why 50% of Salesforce Roles Were Hired Internally in Q1 and What This Means

Last month, Nathalie Scardino, Chief People Officer at Salesforce, announced that in Q1 this year, half of the available roles filled by Salesforce were through internal applications. This signals a considerable shift in Salesforce’s hiring strategy, at a time when entering the job market is harder than ever.

While some signs of market recovery have appeared, such as a narrowing gap between talent supply and demand, securing a role remains a challenge. The recent shift in Salesforce’s hiring strategy further complicates things – 50% of roles in Q1 were filled internally, with programs like Career Connect helping employees reskill and move into new positions, especially in AI-focused roles.

While external hiring hasn’t stopped, competition is tougher than ever. To stand out, candidates need to focus on networking, upskilling, and aligning with Salesforce’s priorities. Fortunately, the growing partner ecosystem offers real opportunities, with millions of new roles expected by 2026.
