Website Migrations: Why Developers and Content Strategists Need to Collaborate

If you are a Drupal developer or content professional with a website migration in your future, this is the session for you. Collaboration between the tech and content teams is critical for the success of a migration. Yet even with an Agile approach, a migration effort that truly integrates developers and content professionals is still a unicorn.

To ensure an efficient migration into Drupal, it is time to redefine what “Drupal development” is at its core. 

In this session, learn why “Drupal development” should require an expanded collaboration between developers and content professionals. Despite best efforts, the move to Drupal – whether from a previous version or from another CMS – is rarely an exact one-to-one migration. This reality makes it essential that Drupal developers understand more than just functional requirements, they need to know the goals, audience, and content strategy for the website. Similarly, content professionals must appreciate the potential and limitations of Drupal functionality.

This session will offer a new way to approach website migrations and offer suggestions for making your next website migration more efficient and less painful – for both developers and content professionals.
