It should not. Changes are grouped into small releases, tested in a sandbox with a few real users and scheduled for quieter weeks, away from peak visitor periods and holiday retail. Each release comes with a short note explaining what moved and why, so staff are not surprised at the start of a shift. If a change touches a high-volume process such as check-in or order entry, it waits until the rush passes.

With the data underneath the segments. Duplicate guest or customer records, missing consent values and inconsistent preference fields are the usual causes. We clean and merge records, standardize the fields segments depend on and rebuild the filters with marketing, then test sends to small audiences. Once the underlying data is trustworthy, Marketing Cloud segments and journeys behave predictably.

The honest answer turns on how big the org is and how many departments touch it. A focused cleanup of one department's layouts and reports can finish in weeks, while broader work across sales, service and marketing runs for a few months. Scope is agreed after measuring usage, and improvements are released along the way rather than held for one big launch.
