* '''Data collection forms:''' Programs often have existing data collection forms or spreadsheets that describe what information must be collected from operators or key stakeholders. These forms can serve as the basis for data collection forms in {{IMSMANG}}. It is important, however, to critically assess the information provided by these forms since existing forms may not accurately reflect current data collection needs and may have more information than necessary.
* '''Information systems''': Whether databases, spreadsheets or [[GIS]], existing information systems can provide a key source of information requirements for {{IMSMANG}}. Often, these information systems document the specific information the programs must collect and report on and so serve as a valuable source for detailing information needs.
* '''Information consumers''': It is important to collect information about decisions made in mine action programs by interviewing consumers of information. Often, existing data collection forms, reports and systems do not fully represent the needs of the consumers or users of this information. While implementing {{IMSMANG}}, it is an ideal time to readdress the needs of these information users to determine how additional requirements can easily be met using {{IMSMANG}}.
