Wrap Up Activity

Wrap‑Up and Activity

Wrap‑Up

Planning aligns teams on what to learn, how to measure it, and how to run sessions consistently.
Inclusive recruitment, privacy, and a solid script increase research quality and trust.
KPIs provide comparable signals; qualitative notes explain why issues occur.
Debriefs after each session help capture details while fresh and guide small adjustments.
Share findings with clear evidence: issue → evidence (clip/quote/KPI) → impact → recommendation.

Activity: Build Your Research Plan

Background
- Product, audience, scope, prior insights; prototype fidelity and limitations.
Goals and research questions

Next steps and owners.

Pilot Checklist

Dry‑run script timing; confirm tech (recording, AT compatibility).
Validate success rules and timeouts; refine prompts for neutrality.
Update plan version and notify stakeholders of changes.

Summary: You now have every component to plan and execute a credible, ethical usability study. Produce the plan, pilot it, and prepare a concise readout to drive the next iteration.
