Several decades of experience have led me to create and use the web application factory mentoring pattern. Hence, http://awebfactory.com.ar.

AWebFactory builds upon an agile, test-driven, architecturally centered and iterative and incremental approach to web application development based primarily on the Drupal Content Management framework, focusing heavily on client participation.

In terms of web application deliverables, AWebFactory is turning increasingly towards a mentoring services methodology: commitment to project through empowerment.

Having completed the book and waiting for it to be published in January, 2009, I am now concentrating all my non-project devoted time to the development of the Project Flow & Tracker tool, which I hope to be presenting at DrupalConDC 2009

PFT is an Agile tool to develop web applications with Drupal. Built with commonly used modules such as CCK, Views, and Organic Groups, it is both a construction kit and a staging ground for best practices. Business objects are translated into roles and user stories, mapped onto a selection of Drupal modules, and then planned as a self-documenting list of tasks assigned to various iterations, with issue and acceptance test tracking and integration with version control and other staging tools.
