[IxDA Discuss] TechCrunch defends the life of the "user"

[Dante Murphy]

Chris-
 
I have used this technique extensively in scenario-driven design.  Usually the personas are written 3rd person, almost like a narrator setting up backstory, but the scenarios are then written from the perspective of the persona.  They've even drifted into the realm of storyboard...so far that once we created a large-format comic with professional illustrations as part of a pitch.
 
Incidentally, that pitch landed a $400M client.  Never underestimate the power of a good story.

Food for thought. Has anyone seen or used documentation using these
alternative perspectives (second and first person?)
