Ux Research
Skill Verified ActivePlan and execute user research including research planning, recruiting, interview design, qualitative synthesis, and translating findings into product decisions. Use this skill whenever the user wants to plan user research, design interviews, recruit participants, conduct discovery, run formative research, or synthesize qualitative findings. Triggers on user research, UX research, user interviews, discovery research, generative research, formative research, qualitative research, user insights, research synthesis, recruitment, interview guide, jobs to be done. Also triggers when product decisions are being made without user input and the user wants to fix that.
To enable users to systematically plan and execute user research, ensuring findings are actionable and drive product decisions.
Features
- Comprehensive research planning and question framing
- Methodology selection and participant recruitment guidance
- In-depth interview design and execution framework
- Qualitative synthesis and insight generation process
- Actionable communication of research findings
Use Cases
- Planning generative or discovery research for new products/features
- Diagnosing user pain points when data is unclear
- Validating strategic product directions with user input
- Building cross-team empathy through user understanding
Non-Goals
- Testing specific designs or prototypes (use usability-testing skill)
- Mapping the full journey of an existing experience (use journey-mapping skill)
