Conducting UX Research
by Krispian Emert
Learn how and why UX Research can help you to create intuitive and delightful experiences.
What you'll learn
We all want to create “intuitive” and “delightful” experiences. These are easy words to say, but actually shipping a product that is intuitive and delightful is very difficult to accomplish.
I will teach you what we mean by intuitive, delightful experiences, and the importance of doing UX Research.
In this course you will learn when to do UX Research and how UX Research fits into the product development timeline. We’ll also cover UX Research techniques, and when is the best time to do each technique.
Along the way, together we will conduct research on a hypothetical app using easy, common-sense techniques that anyone can do.
