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:

Review all notes and recordings closely
Extract observations: behaviors, emotions, actions, verbatim quotes
Write each observation on a sticky note (coded to the source participant)
Group notes into themes on a whiteboard
Watch patterns emerge; rearrange as you assess
Name each cluster with an insight statement
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
