ABSTRACT
This research paper confirms the value of methodological work and describes our approach to building personas for iterative assessment, beginning from question formation and proceeding through data collection and analysis to follow-up. We discuss how our approach can help teams evaluate both day-to-day work and progress toward long-term goals. We highlight how iteration is an important driver for this method of internal assessment, the overarching framework of “Constructive Distributed Work” (CDW) it seeks to bolster, and our goal of advancing research about ethical collaboration. Readers can adopt our method to their own teams, making adjustments to accommodate their own ethical goals, motivating our use of personas and/or the CDW framework itself.
