How does Annex deal with changing requirements or constraints in GovCMS & Drupal?

How does Annex deal… | GovCMS & Drupal

The easy mistake is to scope govcms & drupal too narrowly. With the need for rapid development and deployment, as well as the ability to have a coordinated content publishing workflow with governance, the Annex team worked with GovCMS to setup a new website on the GovCMS SaaS platform in under 24 hours. By go-live the Home Affairs content team were able to populate and publish their COVID-19 content effectively. Annex's examples show that accessibility, legacy technology, content structure, integrations, governance, scale, deadlines and stakeholder needs can all change the right answer. Surfacing those constraints early is part of reducing the risk of solving the wrong problem well.
