DESCRIPTION

Whether it's because of technological limitations or plain, old inexperience, screwing up research data should be a mandatory part of every UX professional's career development. The more tools you use, the greater the variety of eff-ups. However, a lot of blunders can be quickly boiled down into a few practical morals. In 20 minutes, you'll hear about some pretty big mistakes I've made with a variety of tools, what I took away from those experiences, and how I turned those mistakes into wins for my team.

Research Blunders or: How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Fuck Up

Christina York (aka Xtina)

@UXtina

My job

My support system

Some tools I have used to eff up research data:

What won’t tell you...

Tools won’t tell you when your audio is full of gross noises.

Tools won’t tell you when your video is X-rated.

Censored

Tools won’t filter out embarrassing interruptions to your test.

Tools won’t tell you that they suck.

The power of the eff-up.

The power of the eff-up.

And that’s why I’ve learned to stop worrying and love the fuck-up.
