Agenda

  • An overview of the project and iteration workflows
  • Expressing the business model with meme maps
  • From business model to listing the user roles
  • Listing the user stories for each role
  • Lexical analysis of the user stories to reveal the domain
  • From domain model to Drupal architecture and module selection
  • Using the modules that come with PFT as a starting point to model the webapp
  • Prototyping the design and information architecture with Drupal itself
  • Test driven implemention of user stories
  • Real world example using the PFT
  • Getting started with the PFT

Goals

The aim of the talk is to present and place in the hands of Drupal developers and users a framework they can download and use to build website applications using a workflow capable of answering the following questions in a practical manner:

  • How do you know what the client wants?
  • How do you know that what you are doing is what the client wants?
  • How do you prototype in Drupal?
  • How does the prototype become the webapp?

At the same time, the presentation marks the second generation of the Drupal application presented at Barcelona DrupalCon Barcelona 2007, in a much more usable and functional version.
