WATCH, LISTEN, LEARN: How to Setup and Run a User Study

by Ken Krutsch | at Minnebar spring 2020 (canceled)

A good UX design process breaks down big challenges by infusing fresh perspective with proven tools and techniques. However, none of these tools or techniques are more insightful or guiding than a user study. User studies recalibrate focus by uncovering key customer feedback and perceptions. They are the biggest driver of product innovation to create a competitive advantage.

We presented a 50 minute session last year called: EVERYWHERE UX at Minnebar 14 in 2019. We would like to continue the UX exploration for the Minnesota Tech community by diving deeper into last year's content; this time focusing on the specifics of designing and executing an effective user study.
