7 User Research Methods to Cover Every Corner. IxDA Munich

Usability comic

In web-based companies, User Research is often misunderstood for a usability test performed after developing the product, but it actually begins the moment we learn about a project, whether we acknowledge it or not.

In her talk, Razan will describe a set of investigative techniques used to add context and insight to the design process. Those techniques can be incorporated before, during, or after the design solution is established. The insights gained from research help us focus on the target audience needs and combat the natural tendency to design for ourselves, or our stakeholders.

Applying research methods continually in your design and development process helps you meet your users great expectations, by providing them with a compelling user experience that is useful, usable, and desirable.

The methods discussed in this talk should help you:

  • Know if your product or service is needed in the market
  • Find the flaws in your product
  • increase the efficiency and effectiveness
  • Learn how to do a regular check up.
