In addition to Personas, you might consider talking about how all  
these people will use it? Will each person have the same knowledge,  
experience, skills, goals, and context? Are some combinations of  
those 5 things more prevalent than others? (I'm on an airplane right  
now, so I can't give you a link, but if you Google "site:uie.com 5  
things to know" you'll find an article which talks about this in more  
detail.)
