Wellstone Action: A Drupal Process Case Study

Wellstone Action! is a national center for training and leadership development for the progressive movement. Founded in January 2003, Wellstone Action trains, educates, mobilizes and organizes a large network of progressive individuals and organizations. The original Wellstone.org website was built using a proprietary CMS system. As the site aged and communications needs evolved, staff had to increasingly work around that system and it's constraints. As such, part of the motivation for a new website was to not only present information clearly, but to do so in a way that was open to evolution and improvement over time, making Drupal and ideal fit for their needs. Wellstone Action's Drupal-powered website launched in the Spring of 2008. With roughly a year of operating perspective, we can begin to assess the overall effectiveness of the project. Accordingly, this case-study is intended to:
  1. Document the process used to manage this project and make decisions
  2. Discuss the overall success of the project (and thereby evaluate the process)
  3. Spark more conversation in the Drupal community about the best ways to produce the best possible results for all of our clients and their Drupal projects
