Personas and Scenarios

Today me and Joe were talking about personas.
First, we started off by creating a persona, a Mr John Smith. He went to Northumbria University and is currently 20 years old. He lives in Newcastle and is a Student. His interests include Music, Fitness, Rugby, Football and Running. His current Goals are to get fit so that his rugby season is successful. Concerning the fitness tracker however, he doesn't want to wear anything around his wrists, and does not want to spend any money on both a fitness tracker and some wireless headphones to use while working out.

So, after we created our Persona, we got to work on a Storyboard, just in text, and that ended up looking like this:

Storyboard steps:

1. Put earphones in and turn them on.
2. Connect earphones to phone via wireless.
3. Open up the app.
4. (First time - login to spotify/apple music via app)
5. Select workout intensity.
6. Put the phone away.
7. Work out.
8. During workout use interaction buttons on the headphones for workout data.
9. When workout finished, end the workout on the app.
10. Review Data recorded by the app.
11. Finished, close app.

After we made this we though about how we could put this into a visual form. First we thought of sketches but ended up just taking pictures. We then annotated them and put them in order of how our persona would use the headphones and came up with this:

As you can see, we took a picture of every step and annotated where we thought necessary where the pictures were not enough.

Joe ended up starting an Online survey where we can send people who are interested in the Fitness Tracker.
