The document discusses practical user research methods for time-constrained teams. It recommends setting up on-page surveys to ask key questions that take 15 minutes to set up and 30 minutes to analyze. Thank you page surveys should also be used, taking 90 minutes to set up and 30 minutes to analyze. Talking to 10 customers takes 2 hours total. Working with sales staff for 2 hours can provide insights into customer concerns and how they are addressed. The key takeaway is that useful research doesn't require much time and can be done through brief on-page surveys, thank you surveys, talking to customers, and collaborating with sales.
