Katello/Foreman Systems Management Personas

What is a persona?

“The purpose of personas is to create reliable and realistic representations of your key audience segments for reference. These representations should be based on qualitative and some quantitative user research.”

How should they be used?

“Personas help to focus decisions surrounding site components by adding a layer of real-world consideration to the conversation. They also offer a quick and inexpensive way to test and prioritize those features throughout the development process.”

  • Scheduled interviews and asked users the same interview questions to all while taking a lot of notes.
  • Identified clusters of interviewees responses.
  • Created persona write-ups based on these responses keeping the folks that we interviewed in mind.
