2. Compose a list of questions that you would ask during your mock interview.
   1. Indicate which stakeholder(s) each question is directed towards.
   2. You will ask questions that will help you gain a better understanding of the procedure thoroughly.
3. Assume the role(s) of each interviewee and answer each question.
