Liz finishes this precisely... "And it's essential to remember that no design process stops with personas"
And Will's stance in my opinion is spot on in suggesting that personas are essential when you are...sorry for the quote.."going to the mattresses" :) Personas are to me the foundation of a building. A building in which the lobby and the second floor are almost never the same. In the same way that Mike scrutinizes personas so can one question only focusing "on the bits and pieces" as he puts it. Bits and pieces are exactly that. They are meant to form a whole. It is our job to put those pieces together. Personas become even more important when the data sets themselves are not representative to the whole puzzle. It is important to understand that it is not a "fictional character". You are building a real base, a solid foundation that will propel your workflow from start to finish. - 2cents from Jake . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
