Agile analysis and design

1- Agile modeling

2- Chartering

3- Personas

A persona is a notional user of the system under development.

Being much more detailed than actors in use case modeling where generic user names are assigned (e.g., end user), personas try to elaborate on users with detailed descriptions to provide context to the developers.

Some personas have such notional details as name, address, age, income, likes and dislikes, and other specific details.

All details are important details

Extrem character

Some exceptional personas

We should identify them since it leads to identification of some of the important user stories which we may miss if we do not identify them.
