Drupal 11 Process and Upgrade Schedule

Process

The website upgrades phase will follow that same process as the past:

  1. [We] will Create D11 feature branch
  2. [You] will have 2 weeks to Identify and fix any issues, then once you let me know
  3. [We] Merge D11 website to become LIVE 

The whole process will be communicated and tracked via a service desk ticket

Considerations

When choosing a group, please consider the following in your decision:

  • The upgrade does not need to take the full 2 weeks. The upgrade can be completed as soon as you are happy with the UAT branch and you comment back in ticket
  • There is no content publishing freeze for the duration of the upgrade
  • Only the master branch is updated, all other environments will be deleted during the upgrade process. 
    (ie the branches will remain in GitLab - only the environments are deleted)
  • All active development should be finalised and changes merged back to master prior to the cutoff date listed above for your group
  • There must be a code development freeze for the duration of the upgrade. All development effort should be focused on the upgrade - reducing the the 2 week timebox
  • Configuration management is not available on the D11 upgrade branch
