Joomla Vs Drupal

Flexibility & Power

Joomla can be made a flexible and Powerful framework with various modules or plugins supported. We can do Joomla Customization them according to our Needs, but Drupal has a Powerful Framework right out of the Box. Drupal has these Views, CCK and Panels that give a great advantage over any other CMS in here. It can be made even more flexible and Powerful with some additional modules to the Drupal Customization. Joomla Developers design and develop their own architecture and framework with very little flexibility that satisfies the requirement at that moment, but it’s not going to be a solution for Future Proofing. Hence Drupal has a better upper hand when it comes to Flexibility and Power.

Project Management Tool – An Overview

Software work are carried out in different parts of the world, but coordinated in a good fashion to make the software development a great success. While building the software projects, it must involve coordination, communication and control to achieve the objective. To remain focused on these 3C’s (coordination, communication and control), we have implemented a project tracking tool.

Usually, there is an artificial wall built between the developer who build the software and those who need it. Also, Project management seems to be complex process that requires understanding client needs and meeting their expectation in a timely manner. Project management includes Project Planning, designing, development and Testing. Project Plan includes the project goals, identifying the tasks to achieve the project goals, identifying the qualified resources, determine the timelines of completion.Even the smallest task can benefit from the use of a well-chosen project management technique or tool, especially in the planning stage.

Project designing includes creation of sample mock-ups and templates; Project development involves implementation and control to target the project plan. Testing includes evaluation of the project; assess the quality of activities and results obtained. There are many kinds of tools available in market.
