Some notes by @JAufrecht during a recent DR/Editing KIT
Goal: describe some basic types of DR product support to help Design Research and PM reach mutual understanding on what the scope of work, roles & responsibilities should be for a given project.
**Problem definition:**
determined by what PO understands about collective needs of users, what DR determines based on samples of users, ither sources.
**Examples**
**1. Generative "front-end research". User study/survey**
- define question
- determine target population
- craft survey
- run survey
- analyze results
**2. Evaluative research. Usability Testing**
- DR defines test tasks together with PO
- break problem definition into test tasks
- figure out size and characteristics
- DR recruits testers
- PO provides a working prototype (and stability)
- DR tests prototype
- feedback, review, repeat - either minor tweaks, or re-think
