I think this discussion would progress faster if we were to define what level of details you need to have a personas. Does a name and one goal constitute a persona? In my mind yes, a persona is a collection of info I have about the user population. The level of detail and the amount of information I put in my personas depend on the time I have. I can create a very simple persona in a few minutes or a full-fledged persona set if a few weeks in.
So in my mind, time is not really an issue for deciding whether to create personas or not. The tool is scalable. Pierre Roberge User Experience Designer - Business Analyst etfs ---------- etfs inc.
