N2 - Scenario-based design originates from the human-computer interaction and
software engineering disciplines, and continues to be adapted for product development.
Product development differs from software development in the former’s more varied
context of use, broader characteristics of users and more tangible solutions. The possible
use of scenarios in product design is therefore broader and more challenging. Existing
design methods that involve scenarios can be employed in many different stages of the
product design process. However, there is no proficient overview that discusses a
scenario-based product design process in its full extent. The purposes of creating
scenarios and the evolution of scenarios from their original design data are often not
obvious, although the results from using scenarios are clearly visible. Therefore, this
paper proposes to classify possible scenario uses with their purpose, characteristics and
supporting design methods. The classification makes explicit different types of scenarios
and their relation to one another. Furthermore, novel scenario uses can be referred or
added to the classification to develop it in parallel with the scenario-based design
practice. Eventually, a scenario-based product design process could take inspiration for
creating scenarios from the classification because it provides detailed characteristics of the scenarios
