Pioneering Salesforce Engineering's Agentic Shift: Part 2
Salesforce, Wednesday, September 9th, 2026
Scaling agentic development across 15,000 engineers produced a 90.5 percent rise in work items per developer.
Salesforce documents scaling agentic development across 15,000 engineers, reporting work items completed per developer up 90.5 percent year over year, pull requests merged per developer up 88.1 percent, and an internal Effective Output score up 200.3 percent.
The practices behind the numbers are the transferable part: an Agent Coding Maturity Curve that meets teams where they are, treating token optimization as an engineering discipline rather than a cost complaint, and a build-and-share culture around agent workflows. Readers should note that throughput metrics are not quality metrics.
