Abstract
This chapter focuses on the first stage of DRM, the RC stage. It discusses an approach and methods to support the initial stage of a design research project or programme. The aims are to identify and refine a research problem that is both academically and practically worthwhile and realistic. This involves obtaining an overview of the available understanding of the area of interest, so that it is possible to plan for the most suitable research to solve this problem. Both the understanding and the research plan will continue to evolve as the project or programme progresses through its various stages, in particular during the DS-I stage.
