I wasn't assuming that, though, Eva. Rather, it seems to me that the main use of the additional step is to obtain a communication tool, whether that be for communicating with clients, developers, or other designers. Your use of personas would seem to support that idea. As for whether the step can be eliminated or not, I suppose that depends on the project and the team. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
