The Research Challenge: Planning UX Research

the research challenge workshop image

You are looking to expand your understanding of method selection for your current and future projects. Where do you begin? With so many methods to choose from, how do you choose? How do you determine how long the project will take? How do you determine who to recruit, how to recruit, and how many people should be in your study? How do you ensure that the results will lead to change in the business?

In this 3-hour workshop, you will work in small instructor-led groups to determine the best research approaches to solve real industry problems. UX Research experts will guide you through the process of choosing methods and designing studies. You will work in small groups and by yourself with the goal of getting different perspectives about UX Research. You will share your proposed projects and get feedback from peers and industry experts.

Space is limited to 15 people to ensure an optimal learning experience.

After this workshop, you will be able to…

  • Understand appropriate method selection when planning UXR projects

  • Focus your UX research appropriately

  • Ensure business problems match your research plans and that your UX research can answer business questions.
