Question

Suppose your team is working to create a commercial website and is in the process of developing User Stories by role. One team member suggests rather than only thinking about the target user, we should also think of some exceptional users who use the system very differently. What type of user is this team member referring to?

Explanation

An Extreme Persona represents a user at the edge of the target audience who interacts with the system in an unusual, atypical, or high-intensity way. Including extreme personas during User Story development helps surface edge cases and requirements that typical users would not reveal. They are not security threats (High Risk User), not system administrators (Admin Role), and not a testing role (Performance Tester). Thinking about extreme personas broadens the team's perspective and produces more robust stories.
