A validation Study of House of Quality key performance indicators<br />

the creation of personas. Cooper (1999) described a persona as ”a user archetype you can<br />

use to help guide decisions about product features, navigation, interactions, and even visual<br />

design. By designing for the archetype - whose goals, attitudes, and behaviour patterns are<br />

well understood - you can satisfy the broader group of people represented by that<br />

archetype”.<br />

An extensive part of the inputs for the House of Quality is provided by the management team<br />

of the online union. The input provided correlates with the subjectivity, knowledge and<br />

experience of the team members. T<strong>here</strong>fore to optimize the results for the House of Quality<br />

a cross functional team including members with different backgrounds and expertise is<br />

required (Griffin and Hauser, 1993). As the online union merely started as an experiment of<br />

De Unie, nowadays the management team of the online union consists of three people.<br />

Incorporating more team members would increase the subjectivity, knowledge, experience<br />

and understanding of the management team. Hence, it will improve the validity of the<br />

outcomes for the House of Quality.<br />
