Meena Kothandaraman - UXPA 2017
summary
Qualitative researcher argues for designing research around the question not a timetable, using an incredible framework to decide whether work is about inspiration or validation. Usability tests and validation need counts; exploratory studies need depth, not a token two-day study. Research must avoid a black-box handoff: state the method, how many sessions, recruitment criteria, and expected outputs up front, and push back when stakeholders demand impossible timelines.
