Main Description

A user role represents users of the system under development who have similar attributes. These are some of the common attributes that differentiate user roles from each other:

  • Frequency of using the software
  • Proficiency with using computers and similar systems
  • Domain knowledge
  • Reasons for using the system or problems that they want to solve

Identifying user roles helps the team and stakeholders gain insight on who will use the system, what their objectives are, what problems they have that the system will be solving, and so on.
