I’m very new to the process and it does seem daunting. I’m here to learn about the process, the tricky things, the boring things, time, investment, etc. On that note, would appreciate folks here sharing their experiences regarding the process. Some questions to hit on that will be helpful to me are : 1. Major problems or steps I should start preparing in advance for 2. Cases where adjusting or making changes to the product is too hard, how did you go about it? 3. What are some of the bureaucratic steps I should be ready for? Any personal experiences will be helpful! 4. What are the major rule type elements e.g., NIST ?
