  1. Decide which data-collection methods you will actually use for this project.
  2. Prepare the interview questions, survey prompts, observation focus points or report sources before collecting evidence.
  3. Collect real evidence and keep the raw notes, responses or extracts.
  4. Draft the context diagram, data flow diagram and use case diagram from that evidence.
  5. Cross-check the three analytical tools so they are consistent with each other and with the existing process or system you investigated.
  6. Finalise and submit Block 2, then begin extracting requirements, constraints and scope notes ready for the SRS.
