Fortunately, the configuration system is flexible and supports a wide range of workflows. A database UI-driven workflow is well-suited to rapid site prototyping and content modeling. A config-git-driven workflow pays dividends when scaling up the development team and performing automated tests. A live production site has a wide range of options for balancing rapid delivery with version control. Identifying and communicating the phase of work in a project’s life cycle and shifting workflows accordingly will improve development productivity and increase the diversity of contributors on a project
