What are the standard/practical steps required before moving to implementation of any Project/Task?

Question

Hi everyone, I liked stackoverflow very much and just got registered. As I am a beginner in programming, most of the time i just implement/code my tasks directly not even thinking of creating any dfd's, flowcharts or other tools for my new classes and methods.

In some interviews i was asked what process do you follow and i was confused as i am not very used to follow any standards.

So If some experts can help me that what steps and in what order are the best practices for solving/approaching any task in programming. And how important these are? Plz provide some Info.

Thanks

Behavior Driven Development would be a good start. It turns your customer's requirements in to coded tests.
