Sample answer: By referring to technical documentation such as DFDs, algorithms and structure charts, the contract programmer can familiarise themselves with how their particular module fits into the overall project. They can read existing source code to see the purpose of various modules and lines of code. This allows them to make necessary changes to ensure the new code is compatible with the existing code. A Gantt chart can be used to see the expected timing for their allocated tasks so they can plan their workflow. A data dictionary can be referred to, to confirm the use of particular variables.
