8 Gems to Perfect Your User Research Process.
Don't ask leading questions
Don't ask people what they want
Don't be bias
We're only human and sometimes we can become defensive when performing user research.
Remind yourself to approach all questions and responses with an open mind and bias-free attitude.
In the end, they're just being honest.
Iterate your questions
With every candidate you interview, you should find things that work well and things that don't.
Always remember to iterate your questions so you can extract better responses with the next candidate.
Avoid subconcious influence
Utilise the 5 why technique
