While doing a research project, it is important to follow a systematic process, such as preparing a research plan, identifying your participants/respondents, collecting the data, analysing them, extracting and interpreting your data to translate them into actionable insights, and communicating them to your stakeholders. 

 As there is so much to cover to conduct a research project, I will propose 3 episodes to cover all the steps. 

Planning
 
Before starting any research project, planning or preparation for any research project is essential.  I have seen so many organisations skipping this phase.

The planning phase is, in my opinion, one of the most important steps of any research project.

Could you imagine any medical, psychological, or social research without any plan or protocol? 
This episode will cover the research plan, starting by defining what a research plan is.   why we are doing it before starting any project? and what should be included in your research plan. 

Thank you for listening  🙏

You are about to launch a product or a new feature. You are still at an early stage of your product development, your product is live, and your analytics are irregular. You want to understand your users, understand the market, and test a new feature. You can have 100 reasons that will trigger your appetite for research.

So, now what?

This episode will take you through all the steps that you need to follow before making a research request. This episode is not about preparing a research plan; it is about taking you through what you need to do before you can ask a researcher in your org, commission an agency, or hire a contractor to do your research.

This episode is dedicated to identifying which research method to use, when and why. 
User experience research is essential to the product development cycle. 

We use quantitative and qualitative research methods, which come from several disciplines. 
We evaluate the user journeys, the design, and the way how the users interact with the product. 

As mentioned in a previous episode, user experience research is far more than usability.
