[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],Background Research Analytics review Quantitative research (analytics) = a view of what users do. Qualitative research (in-depth interviews) = why they do it. Analytics provide a view of what happens when people use an existing product. Other qualitative user research techniques focus on the characteristics, needs, and behaviours of individuals. Analytics looks at the aggregate effect of these characteristics in action. By reviewing usage analytics it is possible to peaks and troughs in usage, patterns such as trends and cycles, or pain-points and barriers.

Taking the time to review any issues relating to the product will help to paint the full picture of the current customer experience.

[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],Background Research Expert reviews are most effectively used as a starting point for reviewing a product or conducting more detailed research. They give a general indication of what problems can exist and when followed-up by talking to actual users/customers can be an efficient tool for understanding the strengths and weaknesses of the existing product. Mood boards A mood board is a collage that may consist of images, text, and samples of objects, or any other relevant materials. Mood boards are a tool used by designers to help provide direction and inspiration for a project, enabling the design team to illustrate visually the direction and style that they are pursuing. Put simply, mood boards are a collage of items such as screenshots, photographs, sketches, clippings, etc, posted on a wall, which can be referred to throughout the project. They are a technique that has been used in various design disciplines, such as visual design, architecture, movie, marketing, etc for many years and are increasingly used to great effect in user experience design. When used for UX design they will usually contain screenshots of interface design patterns, functionality, page layouts, visual design examples, background research or any other material that is relevant to the product. When done at the beginning of collaborative design process they allow everyone in the project to share their ideas and inspiration about what the end solution should contain. By sharing these and putting them up a wall it allows the team to develop a shared understanding and can se used as a constant reference point during discussions about design. At any point someone is able to point at the wall and show an example of what they are referring to.
