A User Persona is a fictional character created to represent a user type that will use a site, brand, or product in a particular way.
This character is based on research and includes details like demographics, behavior patterns, motivations, and goals.
Designers use personas to try to predict how potential users will interact with a product, and tailor their design solutions for them.

A Design System is a collection of standards, components, and principles that are used to guide the creation and iteration of a product.
It includes style guides, patterns, code components, and other elements that help designers ensure consistency across different parts of a product.
By adhering to a Design System, designers can create more consistent, cohesive products quickly, as it significantly reduces the guesswork associated with design choices that would otherwise require arbitrary consideration.

Lean UX is a design philosophy that seeks to streamline the UX design process by minimizing extensive documentation and maximizing focus on creating the user experience.
This methodology encourages quick, iterative design cycles, emphasizing user feedback and making adjustments accordingly.
Lean UX facilitates faster time to market, reduces waste, and ensures a stronger alignment with user needs than other methods that value process over the customer.

Iterative Design is a design approach that involves a cyclical process of prototyping, testing, analyzing, and refining a product, with the aim of learning and enhancing the product through each cycle.
This method allows for the incorporation of user feedback into the design process continuously as it comes up.
Iterative Design can result in a better product fit, reduced development costs, and increased customer satisfaction by allowing continuous improvement and alignment with customer needs.

Agile Development is a methodology for software development that emphasizes flexibility, collaboration, customer satisfaction, and rapid delivery that demonstrates value as early in the process as possible.
It involves regular reflection and adjustment in response to changes and customer feedback through the design and development processes.
This approach allows for a more flexible and adaptive development process as opposed to traditional “waterfall” approaches that make dealing with changes much harder.
