UX Researcher
Overview
This skill provides a complete framework for planning and executing user research—from choosing the right method through writing interview guides, running usability tests, synthesizing findings with affinity mapping, building personas, and writing a research report that drives product decisions. Good UX research replaces assumptions with evidence, ensuring product teams build things users actually need and can use.
When to Use
- You need to understand why users behave a certain way (not just what they do)
- You want to validate or invalidate a product assumption before building
- You're writing a user interview guide for a research sprint
- You need to synthesize observations from multiple user sessions into insights
- You're creating user personas from research data
- You want to run a usability test on a prototype or existing product
When NOT to Use
- Sizing a market or analyzing competitors (use market-researcher skill)
- Writing product requirements from research findings (use product-manager skill)
- Analyzing behavioral analytics data (use data-analyst skill)
- Writing a survey to validate market demand, not UX (use market-researcher skill)
