Quantitative Research.
Most user research is qualitative – with good reason. We need to understand why people do what they do, to create products that work for them. But that shouldn’t mean excluding hard numbers or quantitative data. Learning a few quantitative research methods can take your research to the next level, and help you make the case for more (and better) qualitative research. In this talk we’ll cover the key quantitative research methods you can add to your research toolkit, for more impactful results and a better product.
