How to choose your research and analysis methods with confidence
In the majority of scenarios where user research is needed, multiple methodologies may be appropriate, depending on circumstances, and there isn’t a one size fits all method to answer all our questions. So it isn’t always obvious which is the ‘right' methods to choose. However, we may not be able to use the ‘perfect’ method if we are working with certain constraints. At the same time, it's a misconception that any data is better than no data.
In this workshop, we will get to know frameworks that will help you identify the best fit research and analysis methodologies. We’ll cover:
- Good research questions. These are the foundation of delivering effective actionable research
- The kind of data you may want to gather depending on what stage of the development cycle you are in
- The pros and cons of different research methods
- The pros and cons of different analysis methods
- Considering your constraints
By understanding these aspect we can choose the best fit research methods with confidence.
Stephanie will deliver this workshop on day one, June 28th
Day one focused on preparing. Build the right thing …informed by research.
