Mariusz<p>Your users want to address a need, solve a problem, or use your product, but something needs to be fixed. They can't do it for specific reasons (that our team can fix), so they expressed certain emotions about the subject.</p><p>There's just one extra step you need to take, and that comes from thousands of top charities. Rather than counting the number of users and aggregating them, focus on an individual. </p><p><a href="https://mastodon.design/tags/UXResearch" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>UXResearch</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.design/tags/UserResearch" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>UserResearch</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.design/tags/ProductDesign" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>ProductDesign</span></a></p><p><a href="https://dataanddesign.substack.com/p/want-to-convey-how-bad-a-user-experience" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">dataanddesign.substack.com/p/w</span><span class="invisible">ant-to-convey-how-bad-a-user-experience</span></a></p>
Mariusz<p>We need to put ourselves in the user’s shoes and emphasize every single step the user is walking through. Ideally, your perspective should be also informed by qualitative insights that you gathered through In-depth interviews, Moderated and Unmoderated User Testing. </p><p><a href="https://mastodon.design/tags/UXResearch" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>UXResearch</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.design/tags/UserResearch" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>UserResearch</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.design/tags/UX" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>UX</span></a></p><p><a href="https://katesyuma.substack.com/p/5-step-flow-review-to-uncover-growth" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">katesyuma.substack.com/p/5-ste</span><span class="invisible">p-flow-review-to-uncover-growth</span></a></p>
Mariusz<p>Practitioners interested in making decisions that are actually informed by data need to do more than check a dashboard or produce a research report. They need to build a local semantic environment — a mental model shared by the people they want to carry out those decisions. </p><p><a href="https://mastodon.design/tags/ProductDesign" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>ProductDesign</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.design/tags/UXDesign" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>UXDesign</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.design/tags/UserResearch" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>UserResearch</span></a></p><p><a href="https://uxdesign.cc/dont-make-data-driven-product-decisions-build-a-data-driven-semantic-environment-3220d177b73f" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">uxdesign.cc/dont-make-data-dri</span><span class="invisible">ven-product-decisions-build-a-data-driven-semantic-environment-3220d177b73f</span></a></p>
Mariusz<p>Think of analyzing your feedback like sifting through all that unearthed treasure. There’ll be some shiny stuff (great features people love), some old, broken artifacts (features nobody uses or everyone finds frustrating), and maybe even a few hidden gems (unexpected problems you can solve). </p><p><a href="https://mastodon.design/tags/ProductDesign" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>ProductDesign</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.design/tags/ProductManagement" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>ProductManagement</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.design/tags/UserResearch" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>UserResearch</span></a></p><p><a href="https://www.prodpad.com/blog/feedback-analysis/" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="ellipsis">prodpad.com/blog/feedback-anal</span><span class="invisible">ysis/</span></a></p>
Mariusz<p>Survey responses are motivated communication, not expressions of some other latent truth. Our research efforts must be designed to reflect this. Surveys do express truth ... but it is not the truth of some true score as usually assumed. Instead, it is the truth of what respondents tell us, reflecting many influences. </p><p><a href="https://mastodon.design/tags/ProductDesign" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>ProductDesign</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.design/tags/UXResearch" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>UXResearch</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.design/tags/UserResearch" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>UserResearch</span></a></p><p><a href="https://quantuxblog.com/surveys-and-the-true-score-mistake" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">quantuxblog.com/surveys-and-th</span><span class="invisible">e-true-score-mistake</span></a></p>
Mariusz<p>Skipping research can seem like a tempting shortcut to delivering your product a little sooner. But it’s an incredibly risky move. Not understanding your audience from the outset can result in the final product being unusable. Needless to say, it can spell doom for a business. </p><p><a href="https://mastodon.design/tags/ProductDesign" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>ProductDesign</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.design/tags/UserResearch" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>UserResearch</span></a></p><p><a href="https://www.pixelfridge.digital/5-ideas-for-user-research-when-you-cant-talk-to-users/" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="ellipsis">pixelfridge.digital/5-ideas-fo</span><span class="invisible">r-user-research-when-you-cant-talk-to-users/</span></a></p>

Mariusz<p>Surveys are the most dangerous research tool—misunderstood and misused.

Mariusz<p>Mental models are also adaptable and change based on experience. An influential human factors study led by Roger Schvaneveldt that examined fighter pilots revealed distinct mental model structures between novices and experts.

Mariusz<p>Very few organizations will outright refuse to do user research, but often, it gets pushed to a very low priority. Unfortunately, in an age of tight UX budgets, this may mean that user research gets ignored entirely.</p><p>So whether you re-package it with a cool name or showcase its value through mitigating loss, these are three ways to help persuade your team to support user research. </p><p><a href="https://mastodon.design/tags/UXResearch" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>UXResearch</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.design/tags/UserResearch" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>UserResearch</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.design/tags/UXDesign" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>UXDesign</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.design/tags/ProductDesign" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>ProductDesign</span></a></p><p><a href="https://dataanddesign.substack.com/p/how-to-pitch-user-research-if-your" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">dataanddesign.substack.com/p/h</span><span class="invisible">ow-to-pitch-user-research-if-your</span></a></p>

Mariusz<p>Early-stage startups have a lack of data points on user preferences. Deriving conclusions from low volume traffic with patchy data quality is a rabbit hole that leads to failed products. Think about how important it is to release the best MVP or Beta version you can. A lucky startup has two or three shots, then they run out of resources. Most of them have a single shot. </p><p><a href="https://mastodon.design/tags/UserResearch" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>UserResearch</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.design/tags/ProductDesign" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>ProductDesign</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.design/tags/UXDesign" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>UXDesign</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.design/tags/UX" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>UX</span></a></p><p><a href="https://blog.airtimeux.com/how-to-start-with-user-research-without-dedicated-researchers-on-the-team-66018e260cb0" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">blog.airtimeux.com/how-to-star</span><span class="invisible">t-with-user-research-without-dedicated-researchers-on-the-team-66018e260cb0</span></a></p>
Mariusz<p>Surveys are commonly used by UX researchers during the Listen phase of the design cycle. However, they can be effectively used throughout the other phases of the design cycle. To determine if surveys are the right research method for your needs, consider your research goals and questions carefully and choose the appropriate type of survey. </p><p><a href="https://mastodon.design/tags/UXResearch" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>UXResearch</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.design/tags/UserResearch" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>UserResearch</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.design/tags/UXDesign" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>UXDesign</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.design/tags/ProductDesign" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>ProductDesign</span></a></p><p><a href="https://www.nngroup.com/articles/surveys-design-cycle/" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="ellipsis">nngroup.com/articles/surveys-d</span><span class="invisible">esign-cycle/</span></a></p>
