When does Workday recommend that your team plan and test opt-in features that your organization wishes to adopt?

Workday recommends that teams plan and test opt-in features after they have planned and tested for automatically available features. This approach ensures that organizations have a solid foundation of the core features that are automatically included in the system before introducing and testing additional, opt-in features.

By prioritizing the planning and testing of automatically available features, the organization can mitigate risks and ensure that the basic functionality of the system operates smoothly. Once that foundation is established, teams can then focus on opt-in features, which typically require additional configuration and may have dependencies on existing functionalities. This sequential strategy also helps in identifying any interactions between the core features and opt-in features early in the process, allowing for a more seamless integration.

The other options suggest approaches that may disrupt this foundational process, either by planning opt-in features too early or too late, potentially leading to complications or inefficiencies.
