A validation Study of House of Quality key performance indicators the creation of personas. Cooper (1999) described a persona as ”a user archetype you can use to help guide decisions about product features, navigation, interactions, and even visual design. By designing for the archetype - whose goals, attitudes, and behaviour patterns are well understood - you can satisfy the broader group of people represented by that archetype”. An extensive part of the inputs for the House of Quality is provided by the management team of the online union. The input provided correlates with the subjectivity, knowledge and experience of the team members. T<strong>here</strong>fore to optimize the results for the House of Quality a cross functional team including members with different backgrounds and expertise is required (Griffin and Hauser, 1993). As the online union merely started as an experiment of De Unie, nowadays the management team of the online union consists of three people. Incorporating more team members would increase the subjectivity, knowledge, experience and understanding of the management team. Hence, it will improve the validity of the outcomes for the House of Quality. 74
