Surveys are a quantitative method for collecting information from a pool of respondents by asking multiple survey questions. It involves collecting data from a sample of individuals through their responses to questions. Surveys assess opinions, attitudes and other information from respondents in order to study them. They can be used to collect customer feedback on aspects like usability and accessibility to improve a product and ensure it meets user needs. Conducting surveys requires team skills, interpersonal skills, management skills, and political awareness, as surveys within organizations require navigating those contexts.
