Hi Kishor, You may well be in one of the rare situations where personas would not add especial value. They might instead add overhead to a collaborative, user-centered process where you can frequently interact with your actual users.
Slide 59 of the presentation I authored with Steve Calde, "Death to Personas! Long Live Personas!" even cites this particular situation as a time when it might not make sense to author personas. See: http://www.devise.com/further_reading for the slideshow. One consideration to ponder is whether there are other people in your organization who do not have such easy access to your users. Perhaps they would benefit from a better understanding of your target user as afforded by personas. Cheers, Liz . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
