Lifecycle of a Drupal Project

It's easy to overlook the importance of deliverables that go along with taking on a web project, especially a Drupal project.

I'm going to go through stages of a project lifecycle starting with requirements (documentation and gathering techniques, questions that need to be asked, etc), followed by design phase (wireframes & mockups best practices), and through development, QA, to UAT, to going live. By understanding the importance of each phase, the audience should be able to identify their strengths, find their niche in the web industry, and also offer value to client projects.
