Abstract
This paper presents an empirical study, which is conducted to test the effectiveness of scenarios and personas in order to develop and improve shared understanding of functional requirements between design actors. The study focuses on the comparison of two design meetings: the experiment group (asked to use scenarios and personas) and the control group (does not use these methods). It follows that the contribution of this paper is to present and evaluate the protocol of this study and discuss the primary analysis of the results.
Keywords: scenarios, shared understanding, functional requirements, empirical study
