Summary
We got into UX research to make products work better for humans. However, the pace of product iteration has gotten so fast, our research resources have gotten so thin, that we are continuously being asked to be faster, while also bringing more pithy - more relevant findings. Product teams don’t have the time to hear long readouts. “How does this impact the decision I need to make this week?” they want to know. The best way to ensure research insights are both timely and relevant is to make your research synthesis process collaborative. Using a canvas to co-synthesize with your team can be fun, speedy and incredibly impactful. In this talk, Shipra Kayan from Miro gives an inside look at Miro’s research process. We follow an example that shows how the teams run a user testing session (moderate 5 tests, synthesize, reflect and make decisions) in just one and a half days during a design sprint. See hacks and tips for importing data, tagging, clustering, facilitating and presenting all from a single space. Walk away with new ideas for how to synthesize collaboratively with your cross-functional teams to immediately impact design decisions.
