It should have a 2x4 brace running end to end on bottom chord tying the rafters together. attach a 2x4 under the rafters full length near the peak , then run a diagonal from top to bottom. This will hold the rafters in place while removing the roof boards.Then the rafters can be removed one at a time. If not properly braced each rafter could fall as you cut the roof boards, with the last 2 falling any direction with you on top. A few 2x4's are a lot cheaper than a few medical bills!!!

Just plan ahead carefully. Don't let anything heavy be unsupported or unstable. You're playing 'pick-up-sticks' with your body involved. You might want to consider some temporary props when you start on the walls. You seem to have the proper idea.
