More on Personas



If you saw this blog post on personas and user stories, you’ll know that personas are created characters based on actual end-users (in our case, UVA employees) who will be using the newly implemented system (Workday). A different user persona is created for each type of employee that will be interacting with Workday, and the FST team will keep these personas in mind while building the Workday tenant to ensure the different needs of UVA employees are met.

During this month’s Steering Committee Meeting, FST shared a bit more information regarding how the team is using personas.

For example, it’s important to keep in mind that one employee can have multiple personas depending on what information you need to access. These multiple possible personas will help the functional team think of transformation opportunities as they build the system.

Also of note, the personas the FST team are using will not determine security access. Personas are only used for the moment as a guide toward improving the system. Who has access to what features will be discussed in greater detail at a later stage in implementation.
