Embracing Minimum Viable Research in UX Design
In the fast-paced world of large enterprises, where multiple projects run simultaneously, and stakeholder expectations are high, there's a need for agile and efficient research methodologies. Enter Minimum Viable Research (MVR) - a strategic approach that focuses on conducting the least amount of research necessary to produce actionable insights.
Speed Critique in UX Design: Fast Feedback for Better Outcomes
In today's fast-paced design landscape, the value of timely feedback cannot be understated. Enter 'Speed Critique' – a dynamic approach to reviewing designs where brevity meets clarity.
Confounding Variables in Quantitative Studies
In the realm of quantitative research, the pursuit of establishing causal relationships between variables is a fundamental goal. Researchers use statistical methods to analyze data and make inferences about the relationships between independent and dependent variables. However, the presence of confounding variables can complicate this process, leading to inaccurate conclusions.
Crafting User-Centric UX Research Insights Reports: A Guide to Clarity and Impact
User Experience (UX) research plays a pivotal role in designing products and services that resonate with users. However, the true value of UX research lies in the insights it provides. To ensure these insights have a meaningful impact, it's essential to create UX research insights reports that not only convey crucial information but are also easy for stakeholders to understand.
The Socratic Method in Qualitative Research
The Socratic Method is a well-known pedagogical and philosophical approach characterised by the use of open-ended questioning and dialogue to stimulate critical thinking, explore ideas, and arrive at deeper insights. While traditionally associated with education and philosophy, the Socratic Method has found a valuable place in the realm of qualitative research.
Polyhierarchy in Information Architecture
Polyhierarchy can be used to improve the findability of information by making it easier for users to find information that they are looking for. This is because users may have different mental models of how information is organized, and polyhierarchy can accommodate these different mental models.
Benefits of Using Heuristic Review Frameworks
Heuristic review frameworks are a usability evaluation method that can be used to identify potential usability problems in a user interface (UI). They are quick and cost-effective, making them a good option for organizations with limited resources.
The Use of Native Patterns in Apps: Jakob's Law and Increased Usability
When users download an app, they have certain expectations about how it will work based on their experiences with other apps. One way to ensure that your app meets these expectations is to use native patterns.
Designing Information Architecture That Works: Lessons from MyTelstra
In the case study of MyTelstra's order tracking experience, we can see how important it is to understand user mental models when designing information architecture and userflow.

How Mixed Methods Can Be Used to Avoid Bias
Silverchain used mixed methods research to understand consumer decisions. This helped to minimise recall bias and social desirability bias by identifying the most salient events or experiences for the participants and corroborating the findings
Reducing Bias in Self-Reporting Research
Self-reporting is a common method of collecting data in research. However, it is important to be aware of the potential for bias in self-reporting.
The Recall Bias
Recall bias is when people don't remember things accurately or leave out details when talking about past events. It can happen in both quantitative and qualitative research.
The Importance of Understanding User Mental Model when Designing an Information Architecture
Understanding user mental models is important in IA design because it helps designers create an IA that aligns with the user's expectations.
