I have definitely made a few of my own mistakes that, luckily, I have learned from. However, I am interested in the process that other people take and the mistakes that they have made so that I can learn from them as well.

I'd definitely look forward to seeing this.

I feel like this is the single biggest factor in whether or not my Drupal projects are successful. Sign me up for more training.

I can't tell you how many times I've been given a project that starts out with a list of simple requirements, but quickly balloons into a huge morphing pile of garbage. Any insight that could help me minimize these occurrences in projects would be awesome!

Yeah, this has a lot of promise for an interesting discussion. I'm sure everyone has insights on what has worked well and hasn't worked for them.
