Customer
Interviews
Discussion
Guide
Roles
Prep before the interview
Who's facilitating the interview? Who's taking notes?
Make sure your research team has talking points ready
before each interview.
Introduce yourself
Start off the call by introducing the team and the
purpose for the chat. Explain how you'll use the data you
collect. Always get consent if you're recording.
Say thank you
Acknowledge that the customer has taken time out of
their day to give you valuable feedback.
Customer
Interviews
Agenda
Roles
Pick a role
There are two roles you can have during the interview:
scribe or interviewer
Role #1: Scribe
Takes detailed notes verbatim. Your team will reference
them later during analysis and discussion. Always
capture quotes, rather than paraphrase.
Role #2: Interviewer
Leads the conversation and asks open-ended questions
so the customer can share their perspective. They listen
more than they speak.
Make an
interview
template
DURING THE SESSION
Have a peer
transcribe the
session.
This saves time later!
Imagine you are a scribe:
Listen to this audio clip

would you ask?
ACTIVITY TIME! - ACTIVITY #3
What happens after an
interview?
Analyse your interviews
Get peers
involved
It’s a plus if they didn’t
attend the research.
Hard copies
Print out multiples,
have people highlight
and scan for themes.
Consolidate
themes
Use sticky notes or a
digital tool like Mural.
Analyse your interviews
Do you have
transcripts?
You need them to
code for themes.
Highlight what
stands out to you in
the transcript.
