Interview Guide

Introduction

Thank you so much for taking the time to talk to us today; we are really excited to have a conversation with you! We’re going to have you participate in the research as you are a target user in this project. As we go through this interview session, please think of yourself only in the context of a potential user of the product, not the owner or founder of the project. We’ve learned of some of your collaborations and would love to dive into the specifics of how the collaborations went.

During this session, we are looking to better understand your experience collaborating, along with how you showcase and share your work.

Let me give you an outline of what’s going to happen. I am going to ask you a series of questions, and we are really trying to understand all your thoughts. There aren’t any right or wrong answers here, so please just share your experiences. Your input is valuable.
