Identifying and categorizing potential survey/interview respondents 3.) devising a survey/interview strategy 4.) implementing the survey/interview strategy (preferably using Survey Monkey) 5.) collecting and analyzing survey results (often using statistical techniques) and 6.) presenting the results in written form with an emphasis on ease of understanding for non-specialists.
