About this event

Practical advice from industry experts on how to avoid the things that screw most people up in user research. Common issues such as: recruiting is hard, interviews sometimes go nowhere, it's hard to get companies to pay for more research after they've been burned, and the fact sometimes personas provided just aren’t relevant are discussed. This panel looks at these and other issues to provide designers with down-to-earth advice on how to move forward when faced with obstacles during research.

With a focus on persona creation and development, the panel will help fellow designers deal with such challenges as:

  • Not enough data to build useful personas

  • Personas provided aren't useful - lots of made up biographical info ("likes the color pink!") with no info relevant to the context of the problem we're solving for
    • Business thinks they already know their customers and doesn't want to pay for more research
  • I make good personas for my project, but then the company doesn't use them for anything else and they're largely wasted
  • Coming up near you
