Questions to start with: Open Ended vs Close Ended
General:
Can you tell me more about that?
Tell me the steps you went through.
What else did you try?
What was going through your mind when you
did X?
What were you hoping to see?
What exactly did you see?
·
Root cause:

·What was your reasoning there?
Goal:
·What were you trying to achieve?

Confirm:
Let me recount what you said to make
sure I got it…
·
Thank the customer
The 10 Commandments of interviews
Silent observation and clarifying questions
1. Do not outsource
2. Do not ask hypotheticals- ask what was actually done/ going on
3. Don't ask about things that person did a while ago
4. Don't interrupt
5. Don't offer your own explanations
6. Don't give advice
7. Don't try to sell them on features or products
8. Don't translate- look for verbatims
9. Don’t’ go with too many pre baked questions
10.Have a casual, non judgmental conversation
Post the interview- Insight Mining
● Debrief:
○ Share verbatims
○ Look for patterns.
○ –What was unexpected…or didn't quite make sense?
○ Savor each surprise.
● Say – Think - Feel - Do
● Next steps

Editor's Notes

  1. Intuit is a customer-focused company and interviews and go-homes with customers is a key part of our design and development process. My goal for this year was to significantly increase the representation of our customers with a disability. Further, the goal was to include a wide spectrum of disabilities in the outreach. Including a customer interview in my weekly schedule requires planning, lots of outreach, and lots of time for the follow through. This presentation will share lessons learned and encourage you to reach out to your customers.
  2. Before you begin interviewing people, you need to know your customer. Why would they use your product? What are the potential goals and barriers. You need to know your customer before reaching out for interviews. For instance, Intuit’s customers are small businesses, self-employed individuals, people looking to control their finance, and those who file taxes.
  3. I started the search by contacting local agencies, such as Lighthouse for the blind, Center for Independent Living, Abilities United,... QuickBooks Online posts a real-time stream of customer feedback to a special Slack channel. This makes it easy to search for accessibility-oriented feedback. This is a list of keywords used by customers that reflect accessibility concerns: https://github.com/7mary4/a11y-data-keywords Intuit’s customer focus started with engineers hanging out in computer stores and asking people who bought the software if they could watch them install and set up the program. This gave us critical insight into usability. Go to your customers, this could be conferences, meetups, trade shows, etc
  4. Being able to search customer feedback makes it easy for anyone to follow up on issues. This particular search was for “tab key”
  5. This allows us to track all accessibility, customer reported, and issues based on particular users.
  6. Temi is a low-cost option for creating transcripts from videos. https://www.temi.com/ It’s 10 cents/minute. The quality depends on the recording, but there’s a dashboard to edit the transcripts before saving them.
  7. Intuit sends the participant an email with a link to download a gift card. I’ve tested this with clients and it works well.
  8. My Sony camera tends to overheat and shut off mid interview Bluejeans is Intuit’s preferred remote meeting software. But some of the buttons are not keyboard accessible. Zoom is the best.
