Why Early Planning is Crucial for a Smooth Transition to Drupal 11

Staff Reporter

Shanice Ortiz, Director of Projects at Four Kitchens, emphasizes the importance of early planning for a migration to Drupal 11, which will be released in late July 2024. Although organizations have until 2026 to complete the upgrade, Ortiz advises against waiting until the last minute to avoid complications and higher costs.

While the transition to Drupal 11 does not offer immediate new features, it will streamline the platform by deprecating outdated code, such as the Book module. This early migration prepares organizations for a smoother upgrade to future versions like Drupal 11.1, which will introduce new features. Shanice highlights the flexibility in planning the upgrade, suggesting it can be integrated into ongoing maintenance programs or handled as a separate project.
