Use the Force - a guide for Project Managers and site owners

Creating a great Drupal site is like building a model of the Millenium Falcon out of Legos - except there are more parts than you need and no there are no instructions in the box.

This session is for Project Managers and Site Owners who seek to manage a Drupal project successfully. It is a mostly non-technical discussion about how to approach a project and techniques for avoiding common mistakes. 

By the end of this session you'll have a better understanding of:

How to get the best effors from your developers
How to encourage cooperation among team members
How to adjust your expectations 
What your workflow will look like
How to break up a project into manageable tasks
What tools will help you get the job done. 
How to avoid becoming over-confident when things go well
What to do when they don't
How and when to test your code

Even if you've launched dozens of Drupal sites, this session will point out patterns you may not have been aware of. If you have years of project management experience but are new to Drupal, content management systems, or open source development this session will point out truths that may set you free.

Useful for those who possess a basic understanding of how Drupal works and a burning desire to launch a great site.
