[Sigia-l] combining personas and scenarios

Hi all,
I am trying to clarify the use of personas and scenarios, and how they 
relate. I tend to do something like this:
- have a few personas (describing goals)
- have a number of scenarios (describing tasks)
- indicate with each persona which scenarios are relevant, and any comments 
on the scenario specific to this persona. You could do it the other way 
round and indicate with each scenario which personas use it and comments.

However, when I look at example deliverables all over the web, I often see 
either
- personas presented together with full scenarios (a lot of repetition, and 
often missing tasks for certain personas)
- personas presented without explicit reference to scenarios

I'd love to hear about how people combine personas and scenarios in their 
practice. And how storyboards, task analysis and other deliverables fit in.
