I hope the title says it all but if you need further clues, t= he I describe numerous deficiencies with user stories (from a user-centred = design perspective) and explain how moving to 'persona stories' improves us= er experience. You can read a draft of the article (with full references la= cking in the published article) at www.personastories.com<http://www.person= astories.com>. I'll be talking about persona stories at several events: - Persona-Driven Design Workshop, 22/23 Oct, Riga (http://devtrain= ing.eu/persona-driven-design) - UCD 2013, 8/9 Nov - London (http://2013.ucduk.org) - Talk at DEVCONFU in Riga, 13 Nov, Latvia (http://devconfu.eu/eve= nts/devconfu-in-riga) - Talk at interaction2014, 5-8 Feb 2014, Amsterdam (to be confirme= d, http://interaction14.ixda.org) If you're in striking distance of London, do have a look at the UCD 2013 co= nference. It was very well received last year (as UCD 2012!). Early booking= discounts are still available.
