Personas have become a well-lauded method to aid designers in keeping the needs of the intended user population at the forefront of the design process. [] Key Result Despite the scarcity of personas in the decision-making sessions, this ethnographic case study also explores the value of personas for this team even when the personas are not explicitly linguistically invoked.

It is argued persona as a design device must ease its implicit colonial tendency to and impulses in depicting "the other" and endorse serenity, mindfulness and local enabling in design at large and in the African context in particular.
Two-Level Personas for Nested Design Spaces
TLDR
A set of dimensions and success criteria for describing the different persona uses are discussed, presenting a new framework, and it is suggested that two-level personas add value when designing end-user design tools.

Personas in action: ethnography in an interaction design team
TLDR
It is concluded that it is not enough for the design team, and particularly not for the interaction designers, to have the know-how of using the method, they also have to integrate it with existing knowledge and practices in order to feel at home with it and use it efficiently.
Designing for imaginary friends: information architecture, personas and the politics of user-centered design
TLDR
The analysis suggests that the use of personas is motivated as much by political realities within new media organizations, as it is by the desire to address user needs.

TLDR
An independent study on the usefulness of personas is presented based on three different software development project characteristics and demonstrates that personas functioned as an internal concept in the discussions between interaction designers and to justify design rationales 'after the fact' to other project members, as if they actually were based on the persona.
A Preliminary Examination of Using Personas to Enhance User-Centered Design
TLDR
The results suggest that personas lead to more effective designs when empathy for the persona is created, and when the user needs are summarized in a tabular format, the participants must rely on memorization of the user information.
