Organizing data

In the scenarios you just completed, it often helps to organize your observations into a table. 

Please review the example scenario about Ralph in the table provided. It organizes the observations into Who? What? and Why?

In your team's Design Thinking Workbook, you will be expected to fill in a table like this as you use the empathize mode for your problem.

Below is an image of the Who? What? Why? Table in the Design Thinking Workbook (Slide Seven) that your team will use on the Step Four page in this Quest.
