The Drupal Process - Legendary Projects, No Slavery Required

Track: 
Business and Strategy
Experience: 
Beginner

After working some 15 years with managing web projects I have been both service provider and customer for a large number of different projects. I've tried number of different methods how to run web projects. After both success and failure I have come to realize that agile scrum can fail just as easily as traditional waterfall models do when dealing with Drupal projects.

Drupal in it's current versions can't really decide if it is a framework or a product and this creates some unique headaches for project managers and customers. Drupal projects just can't be succesfully implemented with traditional agile methods.

In this session I will speak about our experiences on different ways of doing Drupal projects and present our current best practices for successful projects. There are no silver bullets, but many practical ideas both small and large.

This is an improved version of the session I did in Copenhagen.

Intended audience: 

Project managers, business owners, web site owners, Drupal professionals
