by UXStackExchange on September 8, 2013 in uxstackexchange

Personas is more about who the user is, while scenarios are more about the situation the person is in. It sounds pretty simple to grasp, but when developing personas and scenarios the difference becomes hazy.

  • How can I differentiate between the two? Especially while I am brainstorming?
