Critical Task Scenarios

Make sure your web site or product supports your users' critical tasks. Start with identifying the top ten uses for your web site or product.

Ask the reporters' questions for each of the top ten tasks:
  • Who?
  • What?
  • When?
  • Where?
  • Why?


Web Task Scenario

Scenarios match user personas with their related critical task. The scenarios can be used:

  • with the design team to better understand the users
  • as the basis of design criteria
  • with users for participatory design
  • to explore fitness of mechanisms or alternate designs
  • as a set of tasks for evaluation and testing
