Debrief the team

Revisit the findings of your user research

Write the most common, unexpected or illuminating stories that came from user research on separate Post-it notes


Think about underlying behaviours and motivations


Also include things which falsified your previous assumptions

As a group, move each set of Post-its into groups based on similarity or relations between them.

Name the themes

Create a statement for each group that would transform the theme into a core insight

Redefine

User Needs

Create a problem statement.
