Talk:Personas

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Needs source references, ref to the Pruitt & Adlin book (maybe Carroll's book too?), cross references to other articles like Scenario, Use case, Human–computer interaction, etc. --Ronz 23:36, 8 June 2006 (UTC)

Added and reworded some information at the beginning. I think it makes more sense to discuss personas only as something that occurs during software development process - I'm not aware of uses of personas outside this area. Tried to improve the wording and reduce overly long sentences. --Deb1551 22:21, 21 Jan 2008 (UTC)

Adding some information on the advantages of personas in avoiding three common pitfalls as described by Cooper: The elastic user, self referential design and edge cases.

- Needs work on methodology to develop personas - e.g. breaking up of goals into life, experience and end-goals, mapping these to the interview users etc. --Nainwal (talk) 03:54, 25 January 2008 (UTC)
