Conducting user interviews
2min
• Decide what you want to learn
• Find people to talk to
• Prepare you experiment
• Get out of the building
• Collect your evidence
• Debrief, share, draw conclusions
2min
Setting up for a good
interview
• Setting research goals
• Who are you going to interview, what’s their relation to the
organisation; get an even test
• Plan, plan, plan
Giving a good interview
• Get people talking by getting examples, not just yes and
no answers
• Echo what has just been said to you “Confusing?” and focus
points you want to explore “can you tell me more?”
• Listen. Really Really...Really....LISTEN!
• Don’t think about what your going to say next, focus on
what’s being said
Bad Questions
• Leading questions e.g “do you use you macbook to
study?” “how do you study”
• Closed questions e.g “do you get the bus to uni?”
• Spending too long asking a question that’s too specific
• You want the interviewee to talk, not you
• Try not to sound like your giving an interrogation
2min
Emotion
• Emotions can give real (true) insight into peoples
thoughts and feelings
• Pick up on words like “annoying” and “frustrating” and
get them to elaborate
• Ask them how they feel when they performed a task, or
if they enjoyed it
5min
Let’s get busy
• Get into groups of 3
• You will take it in turns to be the interviewer,
interviewee and note taker
• Pick a topic to interview the other people in your group
about
• Plan out the rough path you want to take in the interview
and what you want to learn from the other person
40min
Practice
• You can now take turns to interview each other
• Take 8 minutes an interview with 2 minutes at the end to
critique the interview as a group
• Manage your own time and techniques using some of the
hints we have given you
• Note takers try and take down important insights from
the conversation, not everything being said
Re-cap
• What did you find challenging about the interview?
• Did you find yourself as an interviewee talking in more
depth than you would imagine?
• How would you improve your plan if you were starting
again?
Cheat Sheet
• UX is a craftsman job select the tool and use it properly
• Consider real world implications of your decisions
• Think about the worst way to do something in order to
understand the best way
• Don’t expect to find a printer on hand-in day. HA!
It’s a wrap
