 -----------------\n\nThis session will focus on opening your mind to the p
 oint of view of your clients. Whether you are working for a non-profit\, a
  corporation\, or your mom... we will cover some tricks that will help you
  understand what they want even if they can't explain it to you in Drupals
 peak.\n\nUltimately\, the aim of this session is to help you build skills 
 that will enable you to understand your client's desires. Your clients get
  the Drupal site that they want. Your save time and energy (and money and 
 aggravation) while you build it. This leaves both you and your client happ
 y.\n\nIn particular\, we will look at:\n\nIdentifying the type of client y
 ou're dealing with and anticipating communication gaps\nTranslating client
 -speak into functional requirements\nThings Drupal makes hard that clients
  think should be easy\, and how to satisfy your clients without rebuilding
  the world\nThings Drupal makes easy that clients expect to be hard\, and 
 how to impress your clients\nThe importance of incremental training\nHow t
 o go beyond functional requirements to make those small changes that make 
 all the difference\n\n\nThe presenter\, Stuart Broz\, is a project manager
  with Trellon\, where he works primarily with nonprofits and academic inst
 itutions. Before coming to Trellon\, he worked as both a nonprofit project
  director and an academic professional.

DESCRIPTION:Presenters:\nJakob Persson\n\n\nTrack: Providing Professional D
 rupal Services\n\nExperience: Beginner\, Intermediate\, Expert\n\nFocus: D
 ecision Maker\, Project Manager\n\n---------------------------\n\nAlmost a
 ll clients who approach your agency about a project want to know up front 
 what the total cost will be. They hand you some loose notes and expect a f
 ixed number of hours or price. To many this presents an impossible task. W
 hat is often forgotten is that an exact estimate isn't expected. What you 
 need to produce is one that is accurate enough to close the sale. In this 
 session you'll learn a method for producing early estimates to support you
 r sales process.\n\nIn this talk I will introduce an early estimation meth
 od we've developed at NodeOne. It's being used daily in our own sales proc
 ess. Using this method we're able to tell a client early on the expected s
 ize of a project\, judge the response and can adapt our sales pitch. Using
  it we close sales faster and provide estimates early on allowing our clie
 nts to make early decisions regarding the scope and focus of the project.
 \n\nYou will learn how to:\n- Within an hour or two get a picture of the c
 lient's requirements\n- Use fixed estimates to manage uncertainty\n- Break
  requirements down into features\n- Draft an early rough Drupal solution t
 hat outlines how each feature is made\n- Produce estimates that are based 
 on experience instead of guesswork\n\nThis talk is presented by Jakob Pers
 son\, co-founder of NodeOne. Jakob works as a project manager and Drupal s
 olutions architect at NodeOne. His infatuation with Drupal began in late 2
 005.

 ager\n\n---------------------------\n\nAfter working some 15 years with we
 b projects I have been both service provider and customer for a large numb
 er of different projects. I've seen and tried number of different methods 
 how to run web projects. After both success and failure I have come to rea
 lize that agile scrum can fail just as easily as traditional waterfall mod
 els do when dealing with Drupal projects.\n\nDrupal in it's current versio
 ns can't really decide if it is a framework or a product and this creates 
 some unique headaches for project managers and customers. To make things e
 ven more complicated most efficient project management models focus on hav
 ing the team physically in one room and many companies are either virtual 
 or at least geographically split in multiple locations.\n\nIn this session
  I will speak about our experiences on different ways of doing Drupal proj
 ects and present our current best practices for successful projects. There
  are no silver bullets\, but many practical ideas both small and large. I 
 will also challenge the audience to share their experiences\, tips and ide
 as.

 \n---------------------------\n\nYou know how to *use* Drupal. You know ho
 w to write code\, build a theme\, and SEO a site. But do you know how to t
 each others to use Drupal?  For every site we create there are clients who
  must use it\, many don't know a node from a block.  After this session\, 
 you will be able to introduce clients to Drupal without freaking them out.
 \n\nWe'll cover:\n\nDefining 'need to know' and emphasizing main concepts
 \nThinking like a user\, talking like a mentor\nUsing normal words with a 
 sprinkling of Drupalese\nBreaking down tasks keeping each user's personali
 ty and background in mind\nChanging style based on feedback\nTranslating '
 my site's broken' into a useful and respectful response\nHow to think like
  a non-geek (for a few minutes)\n\n\n\nImage credit\n\nstop that pigeon! o

 Are you still not using Drupal to manage your projects? Since July 2009 ex
 cuses are running thin. And if Open Atrium didn’t do everything you ever
  expected from your project management system\, it’s about time that we 
 join forces and build our own dog food.\n\nIn this session I’ll present 
 a review of Drupal built tools for project management. You'll get an intro
 duction to Open Atrium and the tools we developed for Knowledge and Projec
 t management in Open Atrium. \n\nAfter this introduction I’m going to ta
 ke you down the rabbit hole and imagine a perfect world in which we have t
 ools that do things no single generic project management tool will ever be
  able to do.\n\nI’ll explain how we could build a set of community resou
 rces that will add another collaboration layer on top of our platform. Too
 ls such as: \na documentation service that not only documents Drupal\, but
  where we can share documentation for common use cases\na configuration du
 mp tool that let’s you analyze and compare full site configurations\na f
 ederated project management tool that makes it easy for Drupal freelancers
  and companies to collaborate in a shared environment\n\npicture by http:/

 t\n\nFocus: Decision Maker\, Project Manager\n\n--------------------------
 -\n\nWhen Rasmus Frey was 7 years old\, his parents took him to the larges
 t buffet in the world\, at the CircusCircus Hotel in Las Vegas. Confronted
  with the overwhelming abundance of the table\, Mr. Frey was confused. Thi
 s session is about what happens when you try to serve everything at once: 
 You go to bed hungry.\n\nWe’ll talk about how we can create improvements
  through an incremental approach\, one step at a time. These days - Drupal
  being the cat’s pyjamas and all - small studios such as ours suddenly h
 ave the capacity to provide large scale enterprise solutions. This present
 s a shift in the way that we work with our clients\, developers\, and sub-
 contractors. One night stands\, it turns out\, just aren't as satisfying a
 s long term relationships.\n\nChanging our approach presents us with numer
 ous challenges (resource management\, maintaining the big picture of both 
 strategy and development)\, improvements (avoiding scope creep\, creating 
 better solutions)\, and possibilities (true collaboration with your client
 ).\n\nOn a more practical level\, we'll show you how we apply the incremen
 tal design and development in our day-to-day business through concrete exa
 mples of long term collaboration with our clients.\n\nCo-presenter is Mart
 in Elneff from Ping Pong Design\, @elneff

 erations\, accounting\, recruiting\, human resources — the list is huge!
  So how do successful Drupal firms make it all work?\n\nWe'll look past Dr
 upal for an hour and focus on what it takes to run a successful consulting
  firm. We've assembled a top-notch panel of Drupal firm owners and manager
 s to discuss what works for them and why. Addison Berry of Lullabot will m
 oderate the discussion\, and the floor will be open for questions.\n\nPane
 lists include:\n\n\nTodd Nienkerk\, Four Kitchens\nAaron Stanush\, Four Ki
