I’m not the designer or the developer so anything you share with me today is not going hurt my feelings or be complementary to me. I am simply going to capture your answers and share them with the team but - your name will not be associated with your answers. Everything you say will be confidential and not shared with anyone but the user experience team. The purpose of this interview is to review a new concept that has been designed to save some steps in your daily tasks. The team needs to know if they are realistic to your needs to do your job successfully. There are no right or wrong answers and you are the expert, please correct me if I make any incorrect statements or assumptions. I am here to capture information from you. Do I have your permission to record this for my reference only? Do you have any questions for me?

User Interview Best Practices ● RECORD IT! ● Make them feel heard and understood ● Take your time, don’t rush them ● Don’t predict the future ● Avoid double-barrelled questions ● Don’t assume they understand the jargon ● Wrap up strong - talk more casually and give them a chance to add ● Thank them for their valuable time.
