UX Workshop: Defining the users
In order to create a product that is meaningful, useful, and engaging, you must know exactly who your users are, what they want, and how they think. Don’t assume that you know what the user wants. Go out and talk to them! Interviews, focus groups, surveys, and field research are four key ways to do user research. Once you’ve gathered your data, create user types and personas to help drive functionality and conversations about your users with your team.
