Tridion Sites > General blog posts

My last post described how we can divide a software component such as Experience Manager (XPM) by gathering "Jobs-to-be-Done" into various use cases.

This overview lets us then group the XPM Graphene implementation into features, or sets of work that can fit our program increments (a set of sprints aligned across feature teams).

At the start, I was tempted to organize and prioritize the XPM user stories by relationships…

If you haven't already, check out the invitation to give us feedback on the User Experience beyond Tridion Sites 9 part 1 and part 2.

We're now implementing some of those designs, starting with Experience Manager. For a feel of what this may eventually include, here's a rough diagram of the different use cases or "jobs" a content editor can perform in Experience Manager.

This is based on lists of functionality…

One of my favorite parts of the (newish) job since moving from Professional Services to Product Development in 2015 was being able to share actual product plans. You might have noticed a slight shift as we shared a bit more on SDL Web 8 and its follow-up releases, starting my first product overview post and the series, which included a few other bloggers. I've often said blogging is about giving yourself permission to…

I recently had a discussion with colleague Arijit Chowdhury on Best Practices surrounding classification in SDL Tridion Sites (Categories & Keywords in the Content Manager and Taxonomy, or the ability to retrieve classified content in Content Delivery).

Note that I've mentioned a few times that I'm wary of the term "best practices" since they could be wielded without context or followed blindly. Context and strategy…

Take Youtube as an example:

Youtube's total pageview is over 4 billion per day in 2012, and Youtube showing a video content with 410 total views. the Content Personalization score is 99.99%

How Content Personalization Score and Content Reuse Score are calculated in a localized country website?

We've started recording technical webinars about the Sites 9 release planned for mid-2018. See the first one on Unified Extensions by architect Likhan Siddiquee

In this week's webinar, I was able to introduce our work on integration services while , Connectors Solutions Architect, demonstrated the CRM and ECommerce scenarios along with an example connector.

Here are the follow-up questions asked by the participants…

In last week's post I introduced the new "Graphene" UI design language which we developed here at SDL's user experience design team and illustrated how it is currently being translated to SDL Tridion DX (Sites & Docs). I set the spotlight on the challenges of todays distributed digital marketing teams, typically running multiple agile content lifecycle projects in parallel, and how a new Graphene UI…

We, SDL's User Experience design team, have been busy designing a next generation UI design language for a new class of end to end product and service experiences. We started this journey with our web sites and several SaaS offerings around Trados Studio and the Language Cloud. Now we are in the process of translating it to SDL Tridion DX! We are really excited about this and would like to share our journey and ideas…

I'm working with Senior Technical Writer Julie Landman to introduce the Data Integration Service* to a future version of the SDL Tridion/Web overview diagram.

*The Data Integration Service (DIS) is the tentative name to a new microservice we're developing as part of the next SDL Web/Tridion release. Scope, details, and feature names subject to change.

So far we've come up with…

Some of you might have already noticed it, but when you try to go to the domain http://sdltridionworld.com you are redirected to the Tridion Developers group on the SDL Community site. Those redirects are the last part in the migration of the SDL Tridion World website, which started a long time ago.

In July 2010, when I had just moved from Professional Services to become a Community Development Consultant as part of the…

We're looking for more feedback from SDL Web/Tridion customers through the SDL Web Customer Survey.

This is a quick, 3-5 minute, survey to help us understand our customers better. Please take a moment to take the survey or share with customers that would be interested, thanks!

For more information or questions about these types of surveys feel free to leave a comment or reach out to Arjen van den Akker, Hallie Huang,…

On August 6, between 21.00-23.00 EST, SDL Web service is scheduled for planned maintenance on the platform. 

Please note the service/platform will be interrupted for 15 minutes. A maintenance notification will be visible on the platform for the duration service is unavailable. 
 
We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause.

Should you have any queries about this planned maintenance, please contact SDL Support through th…

In this long over-due post under the SDL Web 8 blog post series, instead of just explaining how you can participate in the latest versions of SDL Web, I want to thank you for your participation and highlight where to find the Web 8 and Web 8.5 posts from the last year or so.

See this tag cloud and related content for items tagged with SDL Web on SDL Community. Much of the recent content is focused on the latest…

In my most recent role as a Product Owner, I've been catching up on the Translation Review and Translation Preview concepts. To my chagrin, I've even accidentally written one when I clearly meant the other.

One of our senior QA engineers Yevgeniy Bruhov noted that though we sometimes focus on the technical details, preview is all about presenting context…

Though I can't be present, I want to congratulate and thank the attendees, presenters, and organizers of the SDL Web Developer Summit 2017 in India. Your initiative in wielding the "Midas Rule" leverages the strength of a growing, vibrant "local" community* to take advantage of knowledge sharing.

I coined the term the "Midas Rule" in response to enthusiasm I saw in the PowerTools…

"What, did you expect slides? This is a boot camp. If you end up having fun, well that was an accident."

That was my intro, as I remembered delivering it, to our initial SDL Web 8.5 R&D boot camp attendees last month. In this post I will share some of the planning process, topics we focused on for Web 8.5, and lessons learned from the two-day session. Let me also explain this initial bootcamp is definitely…
