Common Personas¶
Identify the roles most commonly associated with the discipline.
Common Practices¶
Identify repeatable practices, procedures, processes, protocols, policies, governance routines, or operating behaviours.
Common Principles¶
Identify principles commonly used by the discipline, then explain how Alescent interprets those principles through Value Realization.
