Requirements & Drupal: Planning for Success
September 13th, 2012
When embarking on a development project of any scale, communication and documented requirements are vital to success. The goal of requirements documentation is to clearly communicate what will be delivered and to ensure there is mutual consensus around in-scope functionality, and how the system will look and behave.
In this on-demand webinar presented with Acquia, we explore best practices in project communication and associated requirements to support successful Drupal projects.
Intended Audience
This is not a technical presentation, but it does cross the boundary between technical and business owners. It is intended for the following audience groups:
- Project Managers
- Small business owners
- Developers
- Technical decision makers interested in Drupal
- Web Managers

They cover specific requirement formats for the following common Drupal functionality:
