### Overview Lifestyle snapshots are an optional step used in conjunction with personas. Lifestyle snapshots help flesh out the situational specifics for writing scenarios. A lifestyle snapshot is a description of a day or short period of time in the life of a persona. The description is concrete and omits the use of the proposed new technology. The day in the life of the persona helps demonstrate how the new system or product adds value for the persona. Contextual understanding from a lifestyle snapshot helps assess the value each scenario adds and provides input for scenario prioritization. # Entry Criteria Dependencies: Personas Defined: The personas are published on the project portal. # Sub-Activities
