Narrative descriptions of envisioned usage episodes are then employed in a variety of ways to guide the development of the system that will enable these use experiences. Like other user-centered approaches, scenario-based design changes the focus of design work from defining system operations (i.e., functional specification) to describing how people will use a system to accomplish work tasks and other activities. However, unlike approaches that consider human behavior and experience through formal analysis and modeling of well-specified tasks, scenario-based design is a relatively lightweight method for envisioning future use possibilities. A user interaction scenario is a sketch of use. It is intended to vividly capture the essence of an interaction design, much as a two-dimensional, paper-and-pencil sketch captures the essence of a physical design.
