Plan, conduct, and analyze user research that produces actionable insights for product design. This skill provides frameworks, methods, and practical guidance for every stage of the research process — from defining the right question to presenting findings that drive decisions.
Use this skill when:
Research is a tool for reducing risk, not a deliverable. The goal is always to inform decisions — not to produce documents. Research is not asking people what they like, not a political tool, and not science. It's applied inquiry that helps you solve the right problem.
Choose your research type based on what decisions are in play:
When: Before you know what you're building. You need to define the problem. Methods: Interviews, field observation, contextual inquiry, diary studies, literature review Output: Problem definition, opportunity areas, personas, mental models
When: You have a design problem and need to fully understand the context. Methods: Contextual inquiry, fly-on-the-wall observation, journey mapping, card sorting Output: Current-state maps, workflow diagrams, mental models
When: You have potential solutions and need to test them. Methods: Usability testing, heuristic evaluation, A/B testing, click testing, tree testing Output: Severity-ranked issues, task completion rates, recommendations
When: A solution is live and you need to understand actual usage patterns. Methods: Analytics review, A/B testing, funnel analysis, surveys Output: Conversion data, behavioral patterns, quantitative validation
Start with a clear problem statement. Base it on a verb that indicates outcome:
Write 3-5 research questions. More than 10 means your scope is too broad.
| You need to... | Use... | Time needed |
|---|---|---|
| Discover unmet needs | Generative interviews | 2-3 weeks |
| Understand context and workflows | Contextual inquiry | 1-2 weeks |
| Test a design concept | Usability testing | 3-5 days |
| Validate with numbers | Survey + analytics | 1-2 weeks |
| Quick expert review | Heuristic evaluation | 1-2 days |
| Prioritize features | Card sorting, buy-a-feature | 1 week |
| Understand navigation mental models | Tree testing, card sorting | 1 week |
| Track ongoing patterns | Continuous discovery (weekly) | Ongoing |

# UX Research
Plan, conduct, and analyze user research that produces actionable insights for product design. This skill provides frameworks, methods, and practical guidance for every stage of the research process — from defining the right question to presenting findings that drive decisions.
## When to Use This Skill
Use this skill when:
- Planning a research study (choosing methods, defining scope, writing a plan)
- Writing interview scripts or discussion guides
- Creating usability test plans with tasks and success metrics
- Recruiting participants and writing screener surveys
- Analyzing qualitative data (affinity diagrams, thematic analysis)
- Synthesizing research into personas, journey maps, or opportunity maps
- Setting up continuous discovery practices (weekly interviews, OSTs)
- Presenting findings and recommendations to stakeholders
## Core Principle
Research is a tool for reducing risk, not a deliverable. The goal is always to inform decisions — not to produce documents. Research is not asking people what they like, not a political tool, and not science. It's applied inquiry that helps you solve the right problem.
## Research Types
Choose your research type based on what decisions are in play:
### Generative / Exploratory
**When:** Before you know what you're building. You need to define the problem.
**Methods:** Interviews, field observation, contextual inquiry, diary studies, literature review
**Output:** Problem definition, opportunity areas, personas, mental models
### Descriptive
**When:** You have a design problem and need to fully understand the context.
**Methods:** Contextual inquiry, fly-on-the-wall observation, journey mapping, card sorting
**Output:** Current-state maps, workflow diagrams, mental models
### Evaluative
**When:** You have potential solutions and need to test them.
**Methods:** Usability testing, heuristic evaluation, A/B testing, click testing, tree testing
**Output:** Severity-ranked issues, task completion rates, recommendations
### Causal
**When:** A solution is live and you need to understand actual usage patterns.
**Methods:** Analytics review, A/B testing, funnel analysis, surveys
**Output:** Conversion data, behavioral patterns, quantitative validation
## The Research Process
### 1. Define the Problem
Start with a clear problem statement. Base it on a verb that indicates outcome:
- **Good:** "Identify the barriers preventing users from completing onboarding"
- **Good:** "Evaluate whether the new checkout flow reduces abandonment"
- **Bad:** "Understand the user experience" (too vague)
- **Bad:** "Explore the problem space" (no measurable outcome)
Write 3-5 research questions. More than 10 means your scope is too broad.
### 2. Select the Approach
| You need to... | Use... | Time needed |
|---|---|---|
| Discover unmet needs | Generative interviews | 2-3 weeks |
| Understand context and workflows | Contextual inquiry | 1-2 weeks |
| Test a design concept | Usability testing | 3-5 days |
| Validate with numbers | Survey + analytics | 1-2 weeks |
| Quick expert review | Heuristic evaluation | 1-2 days |
| Prioritize features | Card sorting, buy-a-feature | 1 week |
| Understand navigation mental models | Tree testing, card sorting | 1 week |
| Track ongoing patterns | Continuous discovery (weekly) | Ongoing |
See `references/research-methods-catalog.md` for detailed method descriptions.
### 3. Plan and Prepare
Every study needs a written plan, even if it's brief. Use `templates/research-plan-template.md`.
**Essential plan elements:**
- Problem statement and research questions
- Methodology and rationale
- Participant criteria and recruiting approach
- Number of participants (see benchmarks below)
- Timeline and logistics
- How data will be captured and stored
- Who will participate from the team
**Participant benchmarks:**
- Usability testing: 3-5 per round (catch ~85% of issues with 5 users)
- Generative interviews: 5-8 per persona segment
- Card sorting: 15-20 for statistical patterns
- Surveys: 100+ for quantitative significance
- Continuous discovery: 1 per week minimum
### 4. Recruit Participants
Recruiting is the hardest part. Embrace it — good recruiting puts the quality in your research.
**A good participant:**
- Shares the goals and concerns of target users
- Embodies key characteristics (age, role, tech familiarity)
- Can articulate their thoughts clearly
- Is familiar with relevant technology at the same level as target users
**Write a screener survey** (see `templates/screener-template.md`):
- Define specific behaviors you're looking for
- Determine required tool knowledge and access level
- Set topic knowledge requirements
- Don't make it obvious who you're looking for (people will game it)
**Recruiting tips:**
- The importance of recruiting perfectly representative users is overrated
- Testing early and often matters more than perfect representation
- Don't be embarrassed to ask friends and neighbors for initial rounds
- Offer reasonable incentives ($50-100/hour)
- Keep the invitation simple
- Don't discuss the product beforehand
### 5. Collect Data
**Data management:**
- Use consistent naming: `Study-ParticipantName-YYYY-MM-DD`
- Get files onto a shared drive immediately
- Use familiar tools — technical difficulties kill research sessions
- Keep a research kit ready to go at a moment's notice
**Core collection methods:**
**Interviewing** — The most effective way to see the world as users do. See `references/interviewing-guide.md` for the full technique guide.
Quick checklist:
- Prepare an interview guide with goals, demographics, icebreakers, and focus questions
- Ask open-ended questions; follow up with "Tell me more about that"
- Listen more than you speak — get comfortable with silence
- Note exact phrases and vocabulary participants use
- Pay attention after you stop recording — revelations often come then
**Usability Testing** — Observe representative users attempting tasks with your design. See `references/usability-testing-guide.md` for the complete process.
Quick checklist:
- Create tasks based on scenarios and personas
- The designer should NOT be the facilitator
- Have a separate observer taking notes
- Test early, test often — never right before lunch
- 3 users per round, debrief over lunch the same day
**Contextual Inquiry** — Interview and observe in the participant's actual environment.
Quick checklist:
- Plan for travel time
- Get situated without interrupting routines
- Ask people to do activities, not give you a tour
- Observe everything: environment, workarounds, tools, interruptions
- Use more than one researcher for multiple perspectives
### 6. Analyze Data
Analysis is where patterns become insights. Get everyone involved — include people who will benefit from participating.
**Qualitative analysis process:**
1. Review all notes and recordings closely
2. Extract observations: behaviors, emotions, actions, verbatim quotes
3. Write each observation on a sticky note (coded to the source participant)
4. Group notes into themes on a whiteboard
5. Watch patterns emerge; rearrange as you assess
6. Name each cluster with an insight statement
7. Derive actionable recommendations from insights
**Analysis session structure:**
- Summarize research goals and process (what did we want to find out?)
- Describe participants and circumstances
- Describe data gathering methods
- Pull out quotes and observations as a group
- Group into themes (e.g., "participants rely on pen and paper to aid memory")
- Summarize findings: patterns → insights → implications for design
- Document in a shareable format
See `references/analysis-synthesis.md` for detailed techniques including affinity diagrams, opportunity mapping, and persona creation.
### 7. Report Results
A quick sketch of a persona or a photo of sticky notes on a whiteboard is far superior to a lengthy written report that goes ignored.
**Always include:**
- Research goals and questions
- Methods and participant summary
- Key findings (patterns and insights)
- Severity-ranked recommendations
- Suggested next steps
**Findings severity scale:**
| Severity | Definition | Action |
|---|---|---|
| **Critical** | Prevents users from completing the task entirely | Must fix before release |
| **High** | Causes significant difficulty; users may abandon | Fix in current cycle |
| **Moderate** | Causes some difficulty but users can work around it | Plan for next cycle |
| **Low** | Minor friction; cosmetic or preference-based | Add to backlog |
**Findings frequency scale:**
| Frequency | Definition |
|---|---|
| **High** | 30%+ of participants experienced the problem |
| **Moderate** | 11-29% of participants experienced the problem |
| **Low** | 10% or fewer participants experienced the problem |
**Issue triage (3 tiers):**
- **Tier 1:** High severity + high frequency → immediate action, high risk to product success
- **Tier 2:** Moderate severity with low frequency, or low severity with moderate frequency
- **Tier 3:** Low severity + low frequency → low risk, add to backlog
Use `templates/findings-report-template.md` for the report structure.
## Continuous Discovery
For teams practicing continuous discovery (recommended), research is not a phase — it's a weekly habit.
**The continuous discovery cadence:**
- Weekly touchpoints with customers by the team building the product
- Small research activities in pursuit of a desired outcome
- Infuse daily product decisions with continuous customer input
**The product trio** (product manager + designer + engineer) should:
- Conduct story-based interviews weekly (not opinion-based — ask about actual past behavior)
- Maintain an Opportunity Solution Tree mapping outcomes → opportunities → solutions → assumption tests
- Generate 15-20 solution ideas per opportunity (volume drives quality)
- Test 10-20 assumptions per week through small, rapid experiments
- Define success criteria before running tests
See `references/continuous-discovery.md` for the full framework.
## Common Mistakes to Avoid
- **Leading questions:** "Don't you think this is easier?" → "How would you describe this experience?"
- **Confirmation bias:** Seeking evidence that supports your hypothesis instead of genuinely testing it
- **Testing too late:** Testing right before launch when there's no time to act on findings
- **Asking opinions instead of observing behavior:** People don't accurately predict their own behavior
- **Over-documenting, under-acting:** A 50-page report nobody reads vs. a whiteboard photo that drives change
- **Skipping the screener:** Recruiting anyone available instead of representative participants
- **The facilitator is the designer:** The person who built it can't objectively watch it fail
- **Solving during analysis:** Resist the urge to jump to solutions before the patterns are clear
- **Adding features based on user requests:** "I'd like it if it could do X" — probe deeper; they often already have a source for X
## Quick Reference
**Problem statement formula:** `[Verb: identify/evaluate/determine] + [what] + [for whom] + [context]`
**Interview question format:** Open-ended, behavior-focused, past-tense ("Tell me about the last time you...")
**Usability task format:** Scenario-based, goal-oriented ("You want to [goal]. Show me how you'd do that.")
**Screener format:** Behavioral questions that filter without revealing criteria
**Analysis output:** Pattern → Insight → Recommendation → Severity
