focused research within sprints

makes room for broader questions across sprints

What does each team member know about our customers?

What do they wish they knew?

Research should address both “fast” and “slow” behaviors, and the motivations

and expectations behind them

How can I help the customer accomplish her goal?

- Interaction Designer

Why did the customer do this, not that?

- Marketer

During each sprint, we observe and interpret customer behaviors.

Across sprints, we learn motivations and expectations

Fills the gaps in customer understanding

Builds a shared, yet changeable vision of customers

Enables us to strategize from empathy

Customers feel anticipated and recognized

In an iterative world, UX research...

ank you.
