- They are used to test site structure before its developed and to isolate problems before they become bigger and harder to fix

Reflection
This lecture pod clarified to me how important it is to develop a user scenario. They help the designer to understand their target audience and how to design for them. Thus through this lecture pod and studio/class activities where user scenarios were explained and I have used them in my interatcive project, I have come to the idea that I want to use them more in my design process as they greatly help and guide me to create and make something that is appropriate for my chosen target audience.
