The 60-Minute User Persona Reboot

Your personas are outdated. Refresh your understanding of who your users are today not two years ago.

About this session

Product teams often find themselves building for users based on research that is several years old and no longer reflects current market realities. This session provides a fast-paced framework to audit outdated assumptions and replace them with a shared, accurate picture of your current customer base.

Why it works

The 60-minute constraint prevents the team from getting lost in minor demographic details and instead forces a focus on the most significant shifts in user behavior. By requiring immediate consensus on these changes, the session moves the team from theoretical debate to a practical, unified understanding of who they are serving right now.

What you’ll walk away with

  • Clear actionable outcomes from a 3-step facilitated process
  • Increased participant engagement and buy-in
  • Documented decisions and next steps
  • Improved team alignment on the topic

Who it’s for
