We shouldn’t listen to what customers say. Instead, we should focus on what they do. Deeper user research will allow us to find out the true needs, wants, and motivations of our customers.
Finding the right UX research participants can result in valuable insights even from a mediocre UX testing plan. UX researchers should spend the time to identify and find the right participants.
UX research provides invaluable insight into product users and what they need and value. Not only will research reduce the risk of a miscalculated guess, it will uncover new opportunities for innovation.
