- Experience designers use a wide variety of techniques to represent the interactions between individuals, organizations, and systems. It all starts with research. There are two broad categories of research, and there are a limitless number of ideas you can use to conduct the research. Generative research helps you learn new things about your users: it creates new data and helps you think in new ways. Personas are the go-to tool to aggregate a target audience’s traits, intentions, needs, and behaviors; however, they often leave out one of the most critical elements of interaction design: time. As rich as these snapshots may be, people’s needs and even their traits may change over time, and personas start to burst at the seams when it comes to illustrating a full story of engagement. Today, we’re going to focus on personas and next month’s TIG will get into Experience Mapping also called Journey Modeling.
- Examples include observation research (The $1 million words: ethnography or contextual inquiry – just a fancy word for observation and detailed note taking) Think about Jane Goodall and Dian Fossey: they immersed herself studying primates and kept diligent notes…the principle is the same.. Jane Goodall Chimpanzees and Dian Fossey Gorillas

- What happens when you intersect science and empathy? You get magic, like this reimagining of the CT scanner. This is a look from a child’s point of view. Let’s be honest: medicine is scary, sterile, and hard on the patient. Why does it have to be that way? Look at this scanner from the child’s point of view. What’s next? An happy child who needs medication or intervention to get a proper scan. What if…you just tell them “Lay very still on the yellow submarine?” Ringo Starr would approve!

- A Persona is a short biography of a fictional person - a fictional person based on research of real people. The Persona is a user of your product. Personas are not vague, demographical descriptions; they are descriptions of individuals that represent real people. The purpose of a Persona is to know for whom to design. When you design a product, you want to meet the needs of your target users. In order to do this you need to understand who they are and what their expectations are; you need to be able to anticipate their reactions to your design. No product can be designed to meet the needs of everyone. A design that matches your target users and their needs is much more likely to be used and to be seen as a success than one that just includes all the features on a list.
- Personas are models of the patterns you see in the data. There are lots of techniques for looking at the data. Steve Portigal, a well know researcher, recommends that you sort your notes at least twice by two different dimensions. Now, look at the dimensions you’ve chosen. Chance are you’ll see goals, motivations and behaviors that fall into certain patterns. You’re ready to generate a persona. Personas were an empathy tool developed to help make sure your product is on target. They usually have a few things in common: Characteristics Needs Goals & Motivations behaviors Context (environment) When you make your personas, you use them throughout your product’s lifecycle. Ask what would your user do at each step. You can (as a team is ideal) walk your way through their whole journey in relationship to your product. You can tell stories or scenarios and create Agile user stories that reflect the true needs of the customer. You can use the personas to gut check your products: That’s called a cognitive walkthrough. As Health-Conscious Harriet, I want to buy the freshest apples…. With personas in hand you can model their way through a whole experience, leaving no stoned unturned. We will be conducting a workshop on this in the future. Ok now let’s generate some “assumption” personas…these are based on what we think we already know. I’d like you to each take a set of stickies and sharpies and write down three things you know about people who eat cereal. Place them up here… They are goal directed not task directed…that helps the designer think about things they might not see focusing on the task alone.

- Personas are used for communication. The User Experience people use them to convey the results of their user research and also to guide their design decisions. Business Analysts use them to understand their users and to guide their use case creation and other activities. Developers use them to keep in mind for whom they’re building the product. Personas give the entire team a shared understanding and common way to refer to the target users of their product. QA people write scripts using personas – it helps them recognize the various steps they need to verify along the way. 1. Conduct user research via contextual interviews, surveys, etc. 2. Group users based on similarity and segment them on the various dimensions of importance and concern to the project. 3. Create a persona from each segment.
