Scenario

Scenarios are based on the idea of a narrative as a creative method (in addition to communicating ideas). Scenarios in design are “concise narrative descriptions of one or more personas using a product to achieve specific goals”  (Cooper et al. 2007: 112). Cooper et al. further explain that persona-based scenarios allow the development of designs “from a story describing an ideal experience from the persona’s perspective, focusing on people, and how they think and behave, rather than on technology or business goals.” The content and context are derived from information gathered during the research phase and its analysis.
