Personas

Personas directly address customer understanding and ultimately improve the customer experience by providing a framework for teams to empathize with and design for specific user types. This focus on user needs makes it primarily an Execution-focused tool.

Personas are archetypal characters created to represent the different user types who might use a service, product, site, or brand in a similar way. Developing personas helps to understand users' needs, experiences, behaviors, and goals. Creating personas can guide decisions about product features, navigation, interactions, and even visual design of digital products.
