Who Are We Solving it For? Target Audience Who are the customers served by this issue? –Existing, new, buyers, providers, etc? –Describe & size each segment (e.g., demographic, persona, etc.) What are each segments needs? What does each segment do presently to solve their current need? Rank importance of needs How do we know that? Support it with data

Use cases define specific instances of usage and describe the who (user), doing what (interaction) with the solution for what purpose (goal). A structure like the one below could be used.

Workflows If needed, only Before & after pictures or some reflection of what’s changing.
