Workshop

After this full-day workshop, you’ll be ready to user test even on small budgets and little time.

Everyone wants to make intuitive products. But you can’t really know they’re intuitive, if you haven’t tested them with actual users. So why don’t we user test more often? It might be because we think we’re lacking the time, budget, equipment or simply the knowledge to do it. But that doesn’t have to be true.

You’ll leave this hands-on and interactive workshop ready and excited to do user testing on your own. It will give you a theoretical foundation and show you how to try out techniques in practice. All done on little time, with no need for fancy equipment or help from expensive consultants.

What you’ll learn

• Tools and methods: Get to know 7 easy and affordable techniques to do user testing
• Planning and prioritising: When and what should you test?
• Tasks and moderating: How do you make sure you’re not leading users during the test?
• Recruiting: How many people do you need to test with, and where can you find them?
• Observation: How should you interpret what you see and take notes during a user test?
• Analysis: How can make sure your usability findings lead to actual improvements?

What skills do you need?

No specific skills are needed, but if you want to learn how to benefit from user-testing, it's probably good to bring an open mind and enough empathy with you. ;-)

What hardware/software do you need?

You don't have to bring a laptop, but please bring something for making a lot of notes.
