Heres a Quick Look Before Approaching Big
Projects with a Joomla Mindset

• You dont always have a full development team
  when tackling big projects with Joomla.
• While the platform is a great one-size-fits-many
  solution to website development, you still need
  to understand some basic project planning methods
  when you approach a big change, implementation,
  development or Joomla migration.
• Heres a quick look at some important stages in
  any large development project.

Planning

• Dont start working until you know where you are
  and where you want to go.
• Whether its just you or you have a team of
  people, sit down and spend some time sketching
  out your current process.
• Youll be surprised at how much you dont know
  about things as they are.

Planning

• Once you have a good idea of the current state,
  create another sketch or list of a desired state.
  
• Then, start connecting A to B with a list of
  tasks.
• What resources, coding, and work needs to be done
  to get from current to desired?

Timing

• Create a timeline for the entire project.
• Be realistic about how long it will take you to
  get the job done.
• Put each task on the timeline in an appropriate
  orderyou cant start building the site without
  the appropriate hardware, for example.

Delegate

• Assign each task to an appropriate person or
  team.
• You may not be able to do everything yourself, so
  dont be afraid to seek outside help.
• Sometimes, its more cost effective to pay an
  expert than to muddle through a large project
  yourself.
• The experienced staff at US Joomla Force can
  bring valuable skills to your website
  development, and we are used to dealing with
  large projects that require complex integrations.

Test

• Always include time in your project plan for
  testing.
• Rolling out an untested, glitch-ridden site will
  upset and drive away users.
• Test offline, and consider a limited beta rollout
  for large-scale changes.
• Make sure your testing is complete.

Test

• Just because the site works on your computer
  doesnt mean it wont have problems on a users
  tablet.
• When possible, test on various operating systems,
  browsers, and devices.
• This ensures the final implementation is as
  problem free as possible.

Take Control

• Dont let outside developers push you into areas
  you arent ready for its your site, so you
  should call the shots.
• Listen to expert advice, but make an informed
  decision about where you want to go.
• At US Joomla Force, we take the time to get to
  know our clients so we can offer the best
  possible advice for their situation instead of
  providing one-sized-fits-all solutions.
