Don't do Personas. Start with understanding people
Lucerna Cinema
Personas. A tool that supports our understanding of the people we design for. And yet, more than twenty years after their invention, one of the most misunderstood and misused ones.
By the end of my talk, you will understand when it makes sense to spend the effort to create them and when it is better to skip them. I’ll share what worked on my projects and the mistakes I made along the way. You’ll get tips on how to take your team on the journey with you.
If I am successful, you will come out of the talk wanting to learn more about personas and try them out on your next project the way Alan Cooper intended.
