What this track covers

Everything needed to plan and run your first real study: the qualitative/quantitative × attitudinal/behavioral method map, generative vs evaluative research, deep interviews (guide, technique, rookie mistakes), usability testing and the five-users debate, surveys done right, card sorting and tree testing, synthesis with affinity mapping, and research artifacts — personas, JTBD, journey maps — together with their critics.

Planned lessons beyond the ones published: field methods (contextual inquiry, diary studies), research ethics and PII, research repositories, presenting research to stakeholders.
