You don’t 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.

Here’s a quick look at some important stages in any large development project.

PlanningPlanning Don’t start working until you know where you are and where you want to go.

Whether it’s just you or you have a team of people, sit down and spend some time sketching out your current process.

You’ll be surprised at how much you don’t know about things as they are.

#Joomla_project_development

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?

TimingTiming

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 order—you can’t start building the site without the appropriate hardware, for example.

#joomla_project_timeline

DelegateDelegate Assign each task to an appropriate person or team.

You may not be able to do everything yourself, so don’t be afraid to seek outside help.

Sometimes, it’s more cost effective to pay an expert than to muddle through a large project yourself.

TestTest

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.

#project_testing

Just because the site works on your computer doesn’t mean it won’t have problems on a user’s tablet.

When possible, test on various operating systems, browsers, and devices.

This ensures the final implementation is as problem free as possible.

Take ControlTake Control

Don’t let outside developers push you into areas you aren’t ready for; it’s 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.
