Training and Release cycles
1. Frequent releases without training can be dangerous
2. Every new feature is a opportunity to upsell – Keep your sales team informed
3. Setup avenues for training internal teams as well as users
4. B2B users can be trained, B2C users may drop-off if they don’t get it in the first go –
But still not a substitute for good UX
