Based on what has been said about an atomic perspective for managing the data collected during a UX research drill, I realised we could atomise our practice from the beginning of any project.
When designing the research plan, we should define our research questions and the variables we will use in the analysis to develop our collection artifacts to facilitate the debriefing of future sessions.
Take a look at the following extended model for atomic research:
The atomic approach would then be achieved by following steps from the start of each project.
- We will have the study type and activities that are most common in our organisation's environment for the most common general objectives.
- We can then standardise questions that make sense for various studies (e.g. questions about problems or the motivation to use our product) and include them in the models and collection artifacts.
- Then we can dump the different facts and observations **** atomised by topic, these answers in a repository.
Daniel Pidcock's talk at UX Brighton 2018 is the starting point for all the ideas I'm trying to summarise in this post.
