Revella explains her five-question framework for what actually needs to be in a persona, priority, success factors, barriers, journey, and decision criteria, which is a useful antidote to demographic-heavy persona templates. It's the audio companion to the idea that a persona should capture a buying decision, not a fictional biography. Good listen if you want the reasoning behind the manifesto above.
