Program Overview: What is PerForce?
PerForce is a 24-hour program for DevOps engineers, release managers, and build engineers working with version control and CI/CD systems. It covers Perforce Helix Core fundamentals, version control workflows with P4, and branching, streams, and merging. Participants learn CI/CD pipelines with Perforce and large repository performance tuning.
Training is hands-on in live Perforce environments, with each module building on the last under practitioner instruction. Participants set up Helix Core, run P4 workflows, manage branches and streams, and wire CI/CD pipelines. Instructors coach through merging conflicts and large-repository performance tuning with direct feedback. The capstone builds an end-to-end release pipeline.
Messy version control breaks builds, loses work, and turns releases into chaos. This program teaches engineering teams to run Perforce with discipline: clean branching, reliable merges, and pipelines that release safely. Source control becomes infrastructure the whole team trusts.
The release pipeline capstone proves the learning: each participant configures a working end-to-end pipeline in Perforce, from branching strategy through CI/CD to release, and demonstrates it to instructor review. That pipeline design goes back to their employer as a working standard, not a training exercise.
Across six modules, the program moves from Helix Core fundamentals and P4 workflows to branching, merging, and streams, then CI/CD pipelines, large-repository performance, and a capstone release pipeline. Guided labs use realistic repositories so cohorts practice the operations they will run in production. The capstone builds an end-to-end release pipeline with branching strategy, automated builds, and instructor review.

Prerequisites: This program suits DevOps engineers, release managers, and build engineers who work with version control or CI/CD systems. No prior Perforce experience is required; the instructor meets each cohort at its level and builds from familiar Git or SVN concepts. Teams bringing their own depot layout get the most from the capstone, but sample repositories are provided for every lab.
DevOps Engineer to Release Pipeline Owner
Tracks how engineers progress from basic version control to advanced release operations across the program's learn, practice, and apply phases.
A program that grows with DevOps careers, from first depot setup to confident release pipeline ownership.
Mixed cohort, or several teams at once?
We can tailor the training to different teams, roles, and experience levels within the same program.
Certificate of Training Completion.
On successful completion, employees receive an Edstellar course completion certificate, recognizing their commitment to ongoing learning and professional development. It validates the skills they have built and motivates them to keep growing and contribute to organizational success.

- Team-based exercises on your depot layout
- Immediate troubleshooting during every lab
- Capstone release pipeline built in person
Live Virtual Training
Live virtual sessions deliver the same guided labs through interactive online workshops. Breakout rooms host small-group branching and pipeline exercises with the instructor dropping in.

Where this Training Fits in Your Team's learning path.
Perforce is often used where repositories hold large binary assets, such as games and hardware projects. Your team learns Git basics for comparison, then Perforce Helix Core for large files and locking, automates builds with Jenkins, and finishes with full CI/CD engineering.

Build Perforce Release Workflows With Traceable Changes and Tested Integration
Edstellar develops Perforce skills through a complete repository-to-release workflow. Participants configure depots and workspaces, practice review and submission, and manage streams before connecting CI and examining large-depot behavior. The final pipeline is reviewed for traceable changes, resolved merge evidence, and a clear rationale for workspace and build configuration.
- Step 01
Consult
We explore version-control and release responsibilities to identify gaps in Helix Core setup, P4 workflows, stream strategy, merge resolution, and CI integration.
- Step 02
Plan
We establish depots and workspaces before review and submission, then develop streams, Jenkins integration, and repository tuning ahead of the release-pipeline demonstration.
- Step 03
Align
We align Perforce and release-engineering expertise with DevOps, build, and release teams, connecting unfamiliar concepts to their existing Git or SVN experience.
- Step 04
Customize
Sample repositories, release streams, and depot layouts reflect relevant development patterns, enabling tailored merge and workspace exercises without modifying operational source history.
- Step 05
Execute
Participants shelve and review changes, resolve stream conflicts, and trigger Jenkins builds, receiving feedback on merge decisions, workspace scope, and repository-performance observations.
- Step 06
Evaluate
We assess the release pipeline for traceable reviewed changes, verified merge outcomes, working build triggers, and documented workspace and proxy choices appropriate to the sample depot.
