A persona profile helps you get a better understanding of the person you’re really trying to help, it is also a good reference tool.

 Mind Map
Map it out.
A mind map is a diagram that you create to organize information and visually represent your thinking. Now you have defined your user’s problem, think
about all the major ideas, people, industries, elements, etc. that may be connected directly to this central problem. Then branch out further; what is
connected to those major ideas?

Prototyping is getting ideas out of your head and into a format that can be shown to someone else: through drawing, designing and/or building.

Everybody in almost every job needs to be able to communicate effectively, but it also helps greatly to be able to tailor your communication to specific people and
situations; doing this can help you get what you want!
