Persona Analysis

Definition

Persona analysis involves creating fictional yet evidence-based profiles that represent different user/customer segments. Personas are built from qualitative and/or quantitative research and summarize needs, behaviors, goals, pain points, and context.

They help teams maintain a user-centered focus in product design, communication, and decision-making.
