Sitebuilding within a Team – Beginning the Transition to Drupal 8

xaviemirmon

Working in a team versus working on your own poses multiple problems during development.   When you have more than one person working on a project it becomes quite easy with the power and flexibility of Drupal for a site to become inconsistent and bloated. 

This session will cover tried and tested workflows for Drupal 7 throughout the various parts of development allowing for more seamless, collaborative and reliable development and how these processes need to be modified to work with looming release of Drupal 8 so that your team can be ready for when it's released.  We will look at the architechtural changes of D8 and what it means for existing D7 workflows.  

The following stages of development will be covered:

  • Planning
  • Development
  • Deployment
  • Support

We will investigate common problems throughout the different stages, the solutions to these problems that we've implemented within our team, and what we are doing to get ready for D8.  Having spent a whole weekend as a team working hands-on with Drupal 8, we have identified some of the problems in our existing workflows and how we can improve it to help make ourselves ready for Drupal 8.
