DrupalCon London 2011: WHY DRUPAL PROJECTS FAIL: BREAKING DOWN BARRIERS

This talk, presented by Chris Pliakas, focuses on the challenges companies face when adopting Drupal as their web application platform. The speaker identifies common barriers that lead to project failures and offers actionable solutions to overcome them, drawing from his extensive experience with various Drupal projects at Acquia. Aimed at business owners, project managers, and technical leads, this session explores high-level concepts rather than diving deep into technical details, emphasizing that many issues are not caused by the technology itself but by organizational practices.
