What did you learn about
your learning goals?

What were the patterns that
you found?

Another example
You can create a section
like this to CALL OUT the
decisions you made based off the learnings above.
—
Explain why you are going to focus on a certain aspect of the problem you learned.
—
It does not need to be more than one decision. It can be just one decision. This is the place to call out the reasoning behind the problem you're focusing on.
—
This is also a good section to explain why you're not going to focus on a certain problem or why you chosen to not focus on a certain persona group.
