Contextual Inquiry: How Ethnographic Research can Impact the UX of Your WebsiteRachel Vacek
A contextual inquiry is a research study that involves in-depth interviews where users walk through common tasks in the physical environment in which they typically perform them. It can be used to better understand the intents and motivations behind user behavior. In this session, learn what’s needed to conduct a contextual inquiry and how to analyze the ethnographic data once collected. We’ll cover how to synthesize and visualize your findings as sequence models and affinity diagrams that directly inform the development of personas and common task flows. Finally, learn how this process can help guide your design and content strategy efforts while constructing a rich picture of the user experience.

This session goes beyond surveys to look at creative ways to gather and present user input. Surveys are tried-and-true ways to gather input from constituents, but there are many other fun and creative ways to hear your users’ voices. From user diaries, to flipcarts and pens, time-lapse photography, and on-the-ground guerilla surveying using iPads, learn alternatives for gathering and presenting user input to make more informed decisions for your library.
UX Burlington 2017: Exploratory Research in UX DesignSarah Fathallah
Presentation given at the 2017 UX Burlington conference, on the topic of "Exploratory Research in UX Design."
Exploratory research focuses on gaining a deep understanding of the lives of the end users and the contexts in which they use certain products and services. At its core, it’s about challenging and exploring the problem space, before venturing into the solution space. Using real-life examples of digital tools that help people access affordable housing or register to vote, this talk will explore the different tools used for exploratory research, including ethnographic interviews, contextual inquiry, and co-creation activities and prompts. This talk will leave the audience with a better understanding of the types of insights that exploratory research generates, and how they can complement the findings of evaluative or comparative research.
Ethnography in Software Design - An Anthropologist's PerspectiveKelly Moran
Ethnography claims its roots from the field of anthropology. How can a technique used for such a seemingly exotic purpose be useful in the modern world of software design? Revealing and most importantly understanding user needs requires sensitivity, empathy, and a disciplined approach – all of which can be found within ethnography. This talk outlines the basic components of an ethnographic perspective, explores a case study from a recent engagement between projekt202 and an enterprise software company, and highlights how the impact of this research ripples through the software development process.
Technology Motivators and Usage in Non-Profit Arts OrganizationsCAMT
This presentation was given at the 2007 Americans for the Arts Convention by Carnegie Mellon\'s Center for Arts Management and Technology. The goal of this project was to identify and understand the motivations behind information technology decisions in arts organizations. These motivations and decision-making processes were applied to help explain why some arts organizations may lag behind other not-for-profit organizations in technology adoption. While the unequal distribution of technology is partially due to an organization’s financial standing and the availability of “risk capital,” these two factors alone cannot fully account for the present divide.
Criteria's in which SaaS teams are evaluated in VC tableGokul Rangarajan
Why is your past experience of being in a company alone will not matter for a startup fundraising strategy?
The "Startup Founding Team" is one of the characteristics that early-stage founders frequently ignore while also being one that VCs frequently thoroughly scrutinize. Surprisingly, data from Pitchworks of 100+ SaaS startups with whom we worked in the last five years clearly demonstrates that more than 80% believe that having a big idea and vision is sufficient to secure funding from a VC or an angel investor.
We have already seen how 90% of early-stage VC evaluates a startup
The Market & Time to Market
The Founding Team
Revenue / Product Market Fit
Business model
Ideal & Big Vision
The correct idea and the appropriate vision won't make any difference in your pitch until you have the right time, the right market, a fantastic founding team, and of course, PMF backing it. If you take a closer look at the aforementioned criteria, the founder's mindset and ability to turn the tables for the VC have both been demonstrated in a number of situations, and venture capital data support these observations.

The Art of “UX Street Play”
Convincing the business owners to adapt User Research in effective way
Resistance for User Research in Product Teams
UX /UI designers responsibility is always considered to a process of making the interface look good or making it usable. But for building great products will require a UX designer and product owner talking to user, shadowing them Identifying their need and problem patterns across user segments and making them into requirements. In other words the designer has to be in a position where he co-create a requirement or a user story based on user needs and not assumptions or feature request from some random person. Designer need to having an holistic understanding of the product which actually paves way to a software which actually talks to a customer by itself.
Even if the business ideology is stubborn, i strongly believe its responsibility of “UX” designer to talk in the language of the business and convince of the process owners which is going to benefit them actually good for the business as well as the users. So the business resistance towards a ideology may not changer over so you have to consistently put effort ton your side using various tools to make theme believe this is good for them .
How do one convince them of all the above factors in a more effective and entertaining way ?
