User Personas





User Personas are a very good tool for the product owners, business analysts or product managers to be able to co-create with designers. It is predominantly a product of the user research and should not be an amalgamation of demographic data.

It is the best way for us to list all scenarios that a persona would take when they want to attain a goal.

It is predominantly used to build empathy with user, focus the team and build consensus in a large diverse stakeholder group.

    I am following your video blogs Prasanth they are very good. Only thing I would like to hear more is your personal experience e.g. how did user persona help you in succeeding in a project or how it was not useful.

      Hi Sriram,

      Here is a quick experience report on how User Personas have worked for me. Unfortunately I cannot share user Personas I came up with to highlight better some of the challenges I faced or how it helped me.

This is the app - Check it out. http://trashithere.herokuapp.com/ When I tried using the app, I found out that there were only few trash cans. This was a crowd sourced application. I guess this app was not used much. The Spark This led me to questioning myself - What problem led me to this application. I yearned to live in a place that was clean. My assumption was that if people found places to throw thrash, they would not litter. Going ahead with your idea

Counterfiet goods and the fledgeling e-commerce market places

India has a nascent and a very active market place. With good interest, the right climate for growth and right product mix, the indian retail marketplace seems to be going places. However, there are some alarming signals that seem to be ignored for growth that have a good chance of being dangerous to all the stakeholders involved. The issue I am talking about is the sale of counterfeit goods in all the indian market places. India has not had a history of strong Intellectual property rights. This time it is getting messier. The Indian marketplace model is very interesting and suits well to a country as diverse as India. The market place model floated by all the major e-railers suits the fact that the seller and the buyer can be connected for serving the needs for every day goods that are not necessarily covered by IP laws. India needs more effective IP laws since it is struggling with some products like traditional indian products that cannot be covered by IP versus modern produc...
