The “HCI-background” person Special responsibilities: Bring your HCI background to… watch out for the personas’ interests at all times! Aim: deeply understand what the persona’s interests actually are. (Everyone should be doing this, but your responsibility is to bring your background to this!) Good listener, reads subtle cues well (eg, body language, hesitations in speech, ...)

Project Roles/Skills (cont.)
The “Research background” person Special responsibilities: Bring your Research background to… digging into learning your population, not making silly claims you can’t substantiate, … (Everyone should be doing this, but your responsibility is to bring your background to this!)
