Working in a small Drupal shop is very different than working in a big one, or a Drupal team that is part of a larger company. Getting effective project management workflows in place without the overhead of features we are too small for, attracting qualified people, managing our wildly-varying workloads, and attracting great clients are just a few of our challenges. Come join us for commiseration, collaboration, and sharing.
We meet annually during DrupalCon North America. Ideas on how to strengthen the group are welcome.
If you'd like to join us on slack please DM @schiavone or @lizardata.
Micro Shops - sizes and projects
Curious to see what kind of work other micro shops do. Currently I'm project lead. We have a 5 person team, with mainly 3 working on the drupal projects (1 designer, and 2 developers). We work on about 2-5 drupal projects a month (we do all sorts of other projects, non-drupal relate), although we are trying to work on less projects a month that bring in more money (balancing many clients at once is not fun). Our projects average between $2500-$8000 for small business websites.
What does your team look like and what do you guys build?

Drupal Micro Shops is live!
If you work for a small (1-5 person) Drupal shop, the new Micro Shops group is for you. Here we'll talk about the ins and outs of Drupal development on small teams: the tools we use, how we set up our workflows, dealing with clients, and more. Please help us spread the word and create a valuable resource for small-shop Drupalistas.
Regards,
Susan Stewart
