Project Management for Drupal

Tue, Apr 7, 2009 by Sherborne

I would like to hear how others are approaching Drupal project management. As a project manager I always look out for best practices so I can work them into my own process. I have not come across a single document online that discusses the specifics of managing
multiple Drupal projects through to completion.

There are a number of factors faced in every project, but two factors that seem specific to Drupal-type projects are distributions of work, and identifying milestones.

Basic project management ideas that also apply to Drupal project management:

•Resources
People, equipment, material;
•Time
Task durations, dependencies, critical path;
•Money
Costs, contingencies, profit, risk;
•Scope
Project size, goals, requirements;

I would like to hone my system for progress evaluation related to Drupal project management.

Thanks for any suggestions on this process.
