to your stack & domain
Implement a headless content platform and connect it to a production frontend and publishing workflow.
How this operator works
every way of working, already decidedOwns the system, not the ticket
Takes end-to-end ownership of a service or surface. Design, delivery, on-call. And is measured on outcomes, not hours.
Embedded, async-first, instrumented
Works inside your repos, your CI and your rituals. Daily written standups, decisions logged. No status-meeting tax.
Runbooks, canaries, reversible deploys
Every change gated and reversible. Incidents get a timeline and a postmortem; nothing ships without a rollback.
Plugged into your Slack & rituals
Joins standups and retros, reports weekly against the goal. You get an operator, not a queue.
Brings a pre-wired stack or adopts yours
Infrastructure and observability as code by default. No bespoke setup tax to absorb.
Scoped, gated, reversible
Week-1 shadow, week-2 ownership, swap on request inside the trial window. No long-tail handover risk.
Overview
The Headless CMS Implementation sprint stands up a headless content platform — Contentful, Sanity, Storyblok, Strapi, or your selected equivalent — and connects it to a production frontend. The hard part of headless is not the CMS; it is the content model and the workflow: structured types that serve every channel without hard-coding one layout, and a publishing experience where editors preview and ship without an engineer in the loop.
The finish state is content flowing end to end in production: editors working in a governed workspace with roles and workflow, the frontend consuming published content through a clean API layer, and preview showing changes before they go live. Editors gain independence; engineers stop being the publish button.
What's included
Content Modeling
Structured content types designed with your content team — pages, components, and reusable entries — modeled for reuse across channels rather than mirroring one design.
CMS Setup & Governance
Platform configuration with environments, locales where needed, roles and permissions, and guardrails that keep the model coherent as the team grows.
Frontend Integration
A production integration layer between CMS APIs and your site or app — caching, published-content delivery, and build or revalidation triggers handled correctly.
Publishing Workflow & Preview
Draft, review, and publish flows with live preview, scheduled publishing, and rollback — the editorial experience that determines whether headless sticks.
How it works
- Scope — Audit content and channels, select or confirm the platform, and fix the content model and workflow design.
- Build — Configure the CMS, build the integration and preview, and migrate an initial content set with editors working in it early.
- Handover — Production cutover for the in-scope surfaces, editor training, and model documentation.
Part of every Delivery Plan
The Headless CMS Implementation is a menu item on the Scrums.com delivery catalog, available at every plan tier. Add it to your plan backlog and your delivery team schedules it like any other item — scoped, tracked, and reported through the SEOP. See Delivery Plan Tiers.
FAQs
Which CMS platform is right for us?
It depends on team size, budget, localization needs, and how structured your content is. Scoping runs a short selection pass if you have not chosen — the sprint is platform-neutral by design.
Does this include rebuilding our frontend?
No — it connects the CMS to your existing frontend, or to one being built in a parallel menu item. Coming from WordPress specifically? The WordPress-to-Headless Migration covers that full path including content migration.
How much content is migrated?
An initial working set is migrated in-sprint to validate the model. Full-estate migration at volume is scoped separately once the model is proven — that ordering avoids migrating content into a model that then changes.
