[Project Management] Drupal Case Studies

So, the story begins ... We want a online shopping website but we don't know what framework or tools can catalyze the development progress. The time frame is around 1 to 2 months. WordPress is good for layout process, but not good for customizing for our needs. Custom-made proprietary website likes our old one ... ya it is custom-made but wow, seems much work to do ...

All in a sudden we came up with a question: how about ... Drupal?

Found that several comprehensive project case studies have been put on Drupal, which can be brilliant reference sources for the newbies like us, I recommend this to you also to understand if Drupal suits your project needs.

We have selected some main points to glance through in our preliminary phase, which might help for your decision making if you are in the same situation:

• Why Drupal was chosen
• Team Size
• Time Spent

This is what our rough result found:

• Drupal should be suitable for more likely the medium or large sized project
• One of the impressive features for Drupal is taxonomy, which seems more relevant to journal-related, news-related or story-related projects
• It requires skills and trials for us the Drupal newbies before the "real" development
• Roughly the projects take about a year or more for a small team size

As seems the findings above do not benefit much for our aim, thus, the idea of using Drupal is ABANDONED in our case.
