Personas are the perfect tool for documenting user requirements in agile environments. I note your colleage, Scot Witt, has produced a <a href="http://almostasfunny.blogspot.com/2009/09/user-centric-redux.html" rel="nofollow">response to your blog post</a>. I've done some of my best work with a BA colleague of mine and she LOVES personas!
