Here's how to get the most out of #userresearch and the relationship you build with your researcher. First, do not toss your product questions over to a #uxreseacher, walk away, and come back later expecting a meaningful results. It does not work like this. - #uxresearch is a collaborative process - It takes time, effort and input to conduct the study and apply the learnings - Be an active participant in the process to get the most out of it. (You know a lot and you'll likely be part of the team to implement on the learnings.) This includes: -- Contributing to the research plan, prioritizing key questions and making sure they tie to the business goals -- Providing feedback on the recruit, schedule, guide and or other activities -- Piloting the study -- Reviewing the sessions (so you hear feedback first hand, provoke questions and improve understanding) -- Participating in analysis and synthesis -- Sharing what was learned with your team -- Acting on the learnings! When we conduct research we do not do it to check a box off. We conduct research to learn how we can improve the experiences we are designing so applying the learning is critical. Get involved. Be nice. We don't bite ;) #UXR is a team sport! #design #curiositytank #ux
