Goal
After reading this article
you'll:
- be able to pair a stax library from
pattern of life with a
scenario
Summary
Stax libraries (see Pattern of
Life) can be used with any number of
scenarios. However, once you've created your pattern of life deck to work with a
particular scenario, it's helpful to pair the
two:
- because after
pairing, when you load or
share the scenario, you'll do the same for
the paired stax library
- to prevent the training audience from
seeing duplicate personas
Pairing
When you pair a Stack Library (see Pattern of Life) with a scenario, the scenario editor will compare personas in the scenario with
personas in the stack library and, if it
thinks it's found a match, ask you decide
which one is to be used. This is to create
consistency across your exercise.
Actions to follow
 | After
selecting a scenario,
when you select a stax
library, you'll see
that
it's "unpaired". This
means you can preview stax before committing to pair
one. |
 | When you click to pair, the scenario editor compares
all the personas in the
scenario with those in the stax. |
The scenario edit
will present personas it thinks could be
duplicates (i.e. one in the
scenario matches one in the
stax) Flick through to
review before committing to
replace one with the other or
click "keep both". You
should only click to keep both
if
they are NOT the persona.
For example, John Smith is a
popular English name and there
could be two personas called John Smith but they
are
actually different people. In
this
case, keep both. | |
In cases where there
is a match,
review each matching persona and replace one
with the
other. Usually you'll select
the
most detailed or most recent persona to replace the
other. If the stax is used again with another
scenario, it will use the
newly
replaced persona. |
