The document provides an overview of a UX interview workshop for a travel app. The workshop includes an introduction to questioning techniques and mock interviews. Effective questioning techniques involve thanking participants, explaining the purpose is to test the product, being conversational, having a list of points to cover, asking users to explain their thought process, using open-ended questions, and waiting for responses instead of asking yes/no questions. Participants will do mock interviews in pairs to practice these techniques.

USEFUL & USABLE?
WITHOUT THESE YOUR TARGET USERS WON'T SPEND THEIR TIME AND/OR MONEY USING IT!

ASPECT OF APP PRODUCTION.
BECAUSE IT'S HARD!

6. HOW? QUESTIONING TECHNIQUES

7. Thank the user for their valuable time!
Explain that you're testing the product, not them. There is no "wrong
answer".
Be casual and conversational.

8. Have a list of points you want to learn about.
Ask the user to verbalize their thought process.
Where possible, cover your points with observations.
Have questions prepared to cover the areas that aren't covered
naturally.
Don't number them. You could get fixated on the next point instead of
digging deeper.
Try to memorize core points.

9. Ask open ended questions - Who, What, Where, When, Why, How!
Try not to ask yes/no questions.
Wait, both for initial answer formation and elaboration.

10. "What does this button do?"
"Well, what would you expect to happen if you tapped it?"
