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.
