2   Plan a project by identifying activities and scheduling them.
3   Design and administer effective questionnaires.
4   Create, use, and explode DFDs and ERDs to capture and analyze the current system through parent and child levels.
5   Create data dictionary entries for data processes, stores, flows, structures, and logical and physical elements of the systems being studied, based on DFDs.
6   Construct database and user interface for an information system.
