If you have been thinking about doing some user research, but don't really know where to start, here is a really simple and practical guide. 

This is a simple outline of the steps you need to take to plan, set up, run and wrap up your sessions.  

Intended for beginners or those wearing many hats, such as founders and developers, it aims to cut through the noise.  

Once you have gained confidence, you can go on to refine and improve your method and techniques or expand your skillset or team, but if the hardest part is starting, let's not let that be a hurdle! 

If you worry that user research is expensive, time-consuming or will slow you down, this is a lean approach and it is undoubtedly more expensive to not use research to help you develop a great product or website.
