Review of pages 12 to 13 - 7 skills we want to have

1- Observe your customer. What are the questions we need to ask?

2- Work Visually, try to use pictures, sketches etc. to document, gain clarity, anchor ideas.

3- Work together with other people, increases insights

4- Stories are important in helping communicate. Use them and create them.

5- Start, but do not rush into building the product or coming to a solution, 

6- Set up small experiments. Try to learn from doing. Reality is different from what you assume.

7- Nothing is certain. Things are always changing. Except this and use it as an opportunity. Embrace Uncertainty.
