Overview

Behind every great research effort is a plan for research. The plan covers why you’re testing, who you’re recruiting, how you will go about it, and how you measure results. Building research plans are crucial to your success in UX research. The plan may cover only a week worth of research or a month worth of research. Either way, it covers one single round. Research plans are valuable because they help others see how you did you work and allows them to follow in your same process to repeat results. This homework covers the creation of the research plan.
