    Scenarios
    Personas focus on the people whereas scenarios focus on the situation. Tell a story of stakeholders, activites and artifacts. The stories are often fictional BUT may be based on real data. Use personas within the story.
    Different kinds of scenarios:
    Problem Scenarios: current practices, activites, stakeholders, artifacts...
    Design Scenarios: invent new practices, envision the future
    These types can broken down even further:
    Daily use (check stocks)
    Necessary use (take a piss)
    Edge case - special cases and activites that occur infrequently
