Participants will produce:
- Defined personas.
- User profiles.
- A foundation for user-centered design.
- Base personas on research, not assumptions.
- Keep personas relevant to the context.
- Focus on consistent behaviors.
- Share and test personas early.
- Make personas accessible to teams.
- Update personas regularly. I've found 3-5 personas is usually enough; more can be overwhelming.
