What is Business Understanding?
Business understanding means having a working knowledge of how the company makes money, who its customers are, and what constraints shape its decisions. This context helps a designer make choices that are realistic and aligned with what the business can support, rather than purely ideal from a user's perspective. It is often gained through conversations with stakeholders, sales, and leadership rather than through user research alone.
