Milan -
I discuss OVID in the Object Modeling and User Interface Design book I
mentioned earlier and update it to use UML notation (Scott Insensee,
Dave Roberts and co used one of the earlier OO notations, I forget
which).
The OVID book is still available, BTW:

It sounds as they're looking for market segmentation rather than
personas. Personas should be built in a way that the fewest possible
can represent the needs of all. This facilitates efficiency in design.
Market segmentation and resulting profiles can be quite complex,
detailed and specific to

Hey.. This is an interesting topic since I have been in this position
myself before. I was able to convince my client that these many
personas would mean additional expenses in terms of development,
maintenance and management of requirements. But if your clients
aren't too concerned about their

I am working in a similar situation where we have limited page

I don't believe there is a such thing as too many or too few

suggestion is to be thorough in your analysis of each role. The

Generally, I am not a fan, but stackoverflow does something a little
different:
* They treat it as an alert
* They let the user dismiss it
It is, as you said, a visual distraction - but they use that property
to intentionally gain the user's attention.

Hi Jay
Maybe the first step could be to start playing with Arduino (
http://www.arduino.cc/) a simple hardware board to control any type of
device.
Just search the web and you will find several experiences and tutorials how
to use it.

I've not been following the whole conversation, but of course even 15
personas would be preferable to 15 market segment/user needs analyses.
The point of personas is that they promote empathy - or would do if we
make them 'believable', hence the need for seemingly unimportant
details.

I think this has been wholly answered, but I'll add my two cents:
- I always, always, always sketch first. I do a ton of sketching.
It allows me to get all of my ideas out (the what if phase), and
allows me to have more focus when I get into wireframing. Sketching
is portable, cheap and fast.
That's for everyone's input. All valid.
Navid, I really like your summation of personas you used with your
group.
The problem here as with most online initiatives is that the
marketing team is at the table. And it is an education challenge.
