Persona description [edit] Dirk is from Offenburg in Southern Germany and lives now in Karlsruhe. He is 28 years old and has a girlfriend called Anna. The relationship is getting more serious and they have decided that it is time for Dirk to move in with Anna in her apartment in Südstadt. When not studying (or packing) Dirk likes to do sports, mostly running, but he also likes to spend time with his friends.

Dirk has a diploma in computer science and is doing his PhD at SAP Research in Karlsruhe. He has been working on a project that has just finished, but now he is starting to work on a project called CID, a large EU project with partners from many European countries. He reads and writes deliverables for projects and he travels a lot to the different partners and to SAP's headquarters in Walldorf where he has meetings with developers to coordinate the transfer of project results. Being creative and coming up with different ideas for a prototype is his favorite part of the job.

Dirk does not have much control over how he spends a large part of the working week. He gets meeting invitations in his calendar and they become his to-do list for the week because he usually has to prepare for those meetings by reading or writing some report, deliverable or a presentation. He has a real to-do list where he adds tasks that are more general or long term. In the meetings he has a note book where he writes down things that he needs to remember or when he get an idea of something to do in the project.
