[Qualitative research]
...is primarily exploratory research. It is used to gain an understanding of
underlying reasons, opinions, and motivations. It provides insights into the
problem or helps to develop ideas or hypotheses for potential quantitative
research.

Qualitative methods examine the why and how of decision making, not just
what, where, when, or "who"...

We've been building
S/W for over 10 years.We speak to our
customers.
If we were building the
wrong products, our
customers wouldn’t be
buying.
No point asking users what they want. They
often don’t know it themselves!
You’re the UX expert -you should know
what our users need.
We know our users and what they want. We
don't need to ask them.

We can’t make expensive
decisions based on a
handful of user feedback!
What % of users said
this?!
16 users is not statistically
significant.
Are your findings
quantifiable?

Tips
● You are not the end user
● Your client is not the end user
● People who buy your product may not necessarily be your user
● If your stakeholders say they know their users, ask for evidence
● Don’t ask users what they want, observe to see what they need
● Qualitative research isn’t… quantitative!
● Quant + Qual = right approach
● It’s your duty as a UXer to convince and sell research to your
stakeholders1
