DESCRIPTION

This casual presentation was given at Bolt|Peters User Research Friday conference on Nov. 17, 2010. The purpose of this preso was to not only to provide lessons learned, but also to encourage a culture where the eff up is celebrated. **If you download the preso, I put a rough outline of the script in the notes field.**

TRANSCRIPT

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

Christina York (aka Xtina)

@UXtina

Presented at User Research Friday, November 19, 2010

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.
