- The document discusses the delivery of a project to build a new website for a local government client using Umbraco CMS. - A core team of 5 including designers, content editors, and developers used Agile methodology over 12 weeks in sprints to implement the new site. - They installed Umbraco, added basic pages and sections, and integrated third party applications before inputting content and refining the design. - Lessons learned included benefits of multiple developers collaborating directly in Umbraco and designing/building directly in the CMS from the start.

- 1. Jumoo#UmbLocalGov Umbracopool.gov.uk Project delivery and other animals
- 3. Jumoo#UmbLocalGov Liverpool.gov.uk In 12 (and a tiny bit) weeks
- 4. Jumoo#UmbLocalGov Team • Core team of 5 – 2 designers – 2 content editors – 1 developer • Wider team approx. 12 – Internal app integration – 3rd Party look and feel • Agile
- 5. Jumoo#UmbLocalGov Tools • Umbraco 6.0.1 4.11.8 • Trello • Visual Studio • Coda
- 7. Jumoo#UmbLocalGov Day 0 • Project Kick-off • Whole team • Requirements, what’s in what’s out – Core – Improvements • First sprint
- 9. Jumoo#UmbLocalGov Sprint one • Install Umbraco – Put the basics in – landing pages, standard pages, section pages – Bootstrapify it all • Workout what content we are doing first • Workout how we are going to manage the design • Work out the “effort”
- 19. Jumoo#UmbLocalGov Project Principles • Design in the browser – All design was done direct in bootstrap, • Build in the CMS – Where possible everything was done directly in Umbraco first time • Write on the site – All content was put onto what would become the live site
- 20. Jumoo#UmbLocalGov How • Single install multiple developers • Content team on the same install at the same time • Design team designing over the top of it all • Project lead poking around causing trouble.
- 21. Jumoo#UmbLocalGov Pitfalls • Large amount of content going in fast when design or function wasn’t concrete • Agile means things evolve as we go • Lots of people working on the same bit of the site at the same time
- 22. Jumoo#UmbLocalGov File versioning • copies and archives of db ‘bits’ and files • Means that overwriting isn’t the end of the world. • It’s also something that doesn’t actually happen that much • It happened twice.
- 24. Jumoo#UmbLocalGov Agileness • Weekly sprints • bi-daily scrums • Breakouts • Project owner quick turnaround (me) • Adaptive as project evolved
- 26. Jumoo#UmbLocalGov going live • Ideal – development was live – Flip a switch (host header) and it’s done • Reality – Firewalls, Sql Servers and load balancing • Migrated to live site using “just in time” approach.
- 27. Jumoo#UmbLocalGov What we learned on the way • you can have multiple developers on one umbraco install. • Doing the working out directly in Umbraco works • It pays to have a hand in the community • Understand your whole cms platform • Knowledge trumps functionality.
- 28. Jumoo#UmbLocalGov uLocalGov Starter Kit • Umbraco package that builds a basic localgov style site • Available on our.umbraco.org • New Release today • Looking for contributors
