Real project examples with actual customer data illustrate the application of the process. The handbook covers the entire project scope, from determining interview types to analyzing collected data, and includes sample schedules for various project types. It provides instructions for writing affinity notes and labels, building affinity diagrams, and consolidating sequence models.
