“…The studies that integrated Personas in FDD analyze the interactions of people to establish behavioral patterns. The authors in studies [ 60 , 61 ] abstract patterns from user stories and assign them to specific subjects. In [ 62 ], they conduct further interviews involving emotional analysis experts, in order to more easily identify end user personalities.…”

“…This way, the first persona model would be created with a much lower temporal impact on the project. The first persona sketch would be simple, but it would be refined throughout the iterations, as reported in studies [ 31 , 40 , 60 , 64 , 68 ].…”

“…The second limitation shared by different studies is representing the context in which a user persona wants to perform an action, and the possible interaction with other personas within the same requirement [ 32 , 39 , 40 , 50 , 56 , 60 , 63 , 65 , 67 , 69 ]. Context issues can emerge due to the fact that personas are created independently of each other, with the purpose of solving specific existing use cases, but without accounting for how they interact [ 48 , 50 , 56 ].…”

“…After the meeting, the selection criteria were again applied to the full text of the remaining articles. Figure 1 shows the entire filtering and analysis process with the inclusion and exclusion criteria used to select a total of 28 papers [ 27 , 31 , 32 , 33 , 39 , 40 , 48 , 49 , 50 , 51 , 52 , 53 , 54 , 55 , 56 , 57 , 58 , 59 , 60 , 61 , 62 , 63 , 64 , 65 , 66 , 67 , 68 , 69 ]. A complete list of the primary studies can be found in Appendix C .…”

Agile development processes are increasing their consideration of usability by integrating various user-centered design techniques throughout development. One such technique is Personas, which proposes the creation of fictitious users with real preferences to drive application design. Since applying this technique conflicts with the time constraints of agile development, Personas has been adapted over the years. Our objective is to determine the adoption level and type of integration, as well as to propose improvements to the Personas technique for agile development. A systematic mapping study was performed, retrieving 28 articles grouped by agile methodology type. We found some common integration strategies regardless of the specific agile approach, along with some frequent problems, mainly related to Persona modelling and context representation. Based on these limitations, we propose an adaptation to the technique in order to reduce the creation time for a preliminary persona. The number of publications dealing with Personas and agile development is increasing, which reveals a growing interest in the application of this technique to develop usable agile software.

Agile development processes are increasing their consideration over usability, integrating different user-centered design techniques throughout development. One such technique is Personas, which proposes the design of fictitious users with real preferences to drive application design. As applying this technique conflicts with the time constraints of agile development, Personas has been adapted over the years. Our objective is to determine the adoption level and type of integration, as well as to propose improvements to the Personas technique for agile development. A systematic mapping study was performed, retrieving 28 articles which we grouped by agile methodology type. We found some common integration issues irrespective of the type of agile process, such as the life cycle stage or the target user analysis, and also some frequent problems, mainly related to project timing and representing the Persona context. Based on these difficulties, we propose possible improvements, such as using templates for a preliminary Persona. This study analyzed the different integration strategies for the Personas technique within agile processes, evaluating the difficulties found and proposing solutions. The number of publications is increasing, which reveals a growing interest in the adoption of this technique to develop usable agile software.
