Draft:Peopling

Peopling is a term used to describe interacting with a product end users by a developer or engineer of the product. The goal of 'peopling' is to gain understanding of how users interact or how they would like to interact with and application. Peopling can refer to a number of different interactions with potential users; including scoping, feature requests and observing how the user interacts directly with the product. It is important when 'peopling' to keep an open mind and understand what the end user wants out of the product and avoid the natural bias of what the developer or engineer thinks the goal should be.
