Read time: 5 minutes

Hey there! Mia here. Something exciting happened in the Workday world over a week ago now 🤓

Any guesses? You’ve probably heard…

2024R2 features hit your Preview tenant!

Ready or not, it’s time to dig into Workday’s Release Notes with full force…

If you pull the 2024R2 Release Notes today*, you’ll find a whopping 1,117 items to review.

That’s a lot to digest and comprehend within a 5-week testing window 😳

And if you and/or your team are attending Workday Rising the week before the September 21 release delivery date? 😮‍💨 YEESH!

BUT! Here’s the truth…

A high-level understanding of what 2024R2 is made up of will reduce a lot (if not most) of the release-induced overwhelm you and your team may feel.

Which is why I’m sharing an analysis of what’s inside Workday’s 2024 Release 2!

To create this breakdown, I put my data analyst hat on 🤠 and took to Excel…

I analyzed hundreds of Release Notes and spliced them up by type, date added, product area, and setup effort, creating visuals along the way to illustrate 2024R2’s data story.

In all my Workday releases, I’ve never seen anything quite like this breakdown—so I’m super excited to share it with you! Without further ado, let’s get to it 😎
