Primary personas for the Pitney Bowes Intranet

24Persona: Prav in Engineering
• Prav is always striving to make things better. No matter the size of
the project, he’ll do whatever it takes to ensure that the next
solution is moving things in the right direction.
• Prav tends to get to the office early around the same time every
day. He’ll check in with the rest of his team and find out how his
colleagues are making progress with their work. He’ll discuss what
works and doesn’t work in creating solutions, and then plan on
how to best move forward.
• Prav feels compelled to continue learning in life. He also sees it as
part of his job to understand new technologies, new ideas and
what people are talking about in his industry.
• Since Prav is constantly working to build something more
innovative, he wants to understand how the rest of the company is
also doing the same. He’s also interested in what her other
colleagues are doing that might lead to better solutions.
• Prav’s Goals
• Develop product solutions that meet
the company’s goals and keep clients
happy.
• Learn about new ideas and
technologies that might inform and
improve engineering practices.
• Foster a work environment that leads
to better ideas and solutions.
• Understand how engineering can help
the company in new and different
ways.
