What a UX Researcher does on an outsourced design team.

Skills and scope are agreed before delivery starts, so the first sprint is productive rather than a ramp-up month. The work runs to the same backlog, the same repositories and the same definition of done as your own team's.

UX Researcher skills and technology we assign for

  • Planning and running interviews, usability sessions and surveys against specific product questions.

  • Analysing behavioural data alongside qualitative findings, so conclusions hold up to challenge.

  • Turning findings into decisions your product team can act on this sprint.

  • Building and maintaining a participant panel so research does not restart participant sourcing every time.

  • Running a research repository so findings are searchable rather than lost in old decks.

Seniority levels we assign.

Mid to senior, usually assigned part-time rather than as full capacity. Seniority is one of the inputs in how the monthly fee is built.

When a UX Researcher is the right assignment.

Usually part-time capacity alongside a Product Designer rather than a full assignment. On an ongoing roadmap this role is most often assigned alongside a UX Designer or a UI Designer. All 4 roles in this service line can sit on the same agreement, and capacity moves between them at the monthly cycle rather than requiring a new contract. It is one of the assignments that make up outsourced design team at Azendo.

Questions about assigning a UX Researcher.

How much research capacity do we actually need?

Less than most teams expect. Half a specialist's capacity covers a sprint cadence of interviews and usability sessions for most products.

What if we have no users to test with yet?

Then research means competitor analysis and unmoderated testing with participants we source for you, and we will be clear about the limits of that.
