Relevance of resources

This table shows the resources relevant to tasks for each persona. Each persona/task pairing also has an indication of the relevance of that task to the persona. Relevance is rated as Very, Quite, or Not.

Where there is no clear resource that would support that specific need, this has been marked as an Opportunity.

Personas and tasks are presented in the Planning Personas document.

An important question is how well the resource meets the needs of the task. There are two dimensions to this, firstly does how does the resource respond to the needs of the task — does it answer the question? is it obvious how it answers the question? would the reader have to work hard to use the information? is it up-to-date? The second dimension is more how well the resource meets the needs of the individual reader, as represented by the personas. Some users are more novice than others and some require much more practical information.

These two factors are broadly captured as:

  • Each resource is labelled as Excellent, Good, or Fair to indicate how well it supports the task
  • For each persona there is an indication of Excellent, Good, or Fair for how well the resource supports them. Where there are two or more resources, there will be multiple indications of the status. Where the resource is 'Not' relevant for that persona, nothing will be included.
