Experiences drawn from former projects indicate a gap concerning the creation and the perpetual use of Personas throughout a project development process. This gap builds the focus of this paper. In order to develop a new approach to create a possibility for all team members to actively get involved in the Persona creation and further evolvement over the project duration, this paper offers a new option for using Personas dynamically for communication and visualization of product development stages.
This paper discusses the question of the awareness and representation of product design aspects in the user-centred design's ISO process model applied in research projects in the realm of the Active and Assisted Living (AAL) Programme. Experience has shown that product design aspects are to date not as well integrated and applied in projects' everyday working practice as the realms usability engineering, user experience design and user interface design already are. This paper proposes refinements for the applied process as a basis for further elaborations.
