When to choose D8 - a practical checklist

Drupal 8 is wonderful, but how do you know when to use it for your clients or your own site?  Right now - of course!! Well... maybe you have a business requirement that just isn't yet met from Drupal core or from contributed modules. We still use Drupal 8, right? Right? But what if it doesn't do what I need it to do?

How can you figure this out within the scope of your project? We will use a checklist to help get you a decision.

Level of knowledge required:

• Understanding of Drupal terms (core, contrib, modules, themes).
• Understanding of Drupal.org tools (issue queues, projects).
• Understanding of website requirement definition (e.g., my site must integrate with unicorns).

In this session we will address and learn:

• The strength and value of the Drupal 8 contrib tracker.
• Drupal 8 status in Drupal.org for contrib modules.
• Finding Drupal 8 project status that is NOT in Drupal.org.
• Identifying your website's requirements to quantify current support.
• Quantify the short list of go/no-go features that MUST be supported for your site.
• We will use real-world case studies to apply the "Is Drupal 8 right for me?" checklist.
