Is good collaboration possible without a full internal team? This session will present a unique perspective on an agency team’s collaboration methods throughout Drupal web build completed without an internal backend developer. In case-study format, the talk will consider the following:
-
Creating viable visual and creative directions without delivering a back-end build
-
A discussion of tools used to design and collaborate with external back-end developers
-
Agile methods used with the client development team and product owners
-
Lessons learned and challenges encountered
New tools, methodologies, and systems of thought are constantly developed to improve collaboration among agency teams. But what actually works? In this session, a project team will provide a detailed look at the completion of a Drupal web build for a new museum website in the DC metro area. The team took a creative-first approach to the project, and blended UX, technical, and visual considerations throughout the duration of the creation and theming of the website.
Session Takeaway: A detailed understanding of one project’s successes and the lessons learned from building a website without a backend development team.
