An investigation interview question planner helps turn the existing case record into an organized interview plan. Instead of relying on a generic list of questions, it connects interview topics to known information and unresolved issues.
Start with the purpose
Identify what topics or questions the interview may help clarify and which case records provide context.
Organize questions by topic
Group questions around chronology, people or roles, records, specific events and unresolved conflicts so the conversation can be reviewed later.
Separate known information from assumptions
Reference the supporting source for material facts used to prepare questions, and keep unresolved claims identified as such.
Capture resulting follow-up
New records, contacts or leads identified during the interview should be moved into their appropriate trackers.
