Post guide to GitHub
Plan for note taking
Check to see who has accepted the meeting invite and designate a primary note taker
Create a notes doc by taking the study guide and putting in headings instead of detailed questions or copying one from a previous participant and removing all of that participant’s notes
Conducting the study
Go through the interview guide during the study.
Conduct debrief with the team after the study and put together summary and put the participant on the user type triangles.
Update participant index and market map indicating the interview has occurred.
Analysis
Copy all notes from each participant into a spreadsheet (limited access) and organize into common findings, tracking number of participants who encountered each finding
Make sure no identifying information is in the notes docs. The only place to identify participants should be the participant index.
Put together a version of the triangles with all participants in the study
Pull out the highest frequency findings or things that answer specific questions asked in the study plan and create a findings presentation (limited access)
Review findings with Data Display and Data Retrieval teams
