  process     winging it

DEFINITION
An ethnographic research method in which
users are observed and questioned while
they work in their natural environments.
THE PROCESS

1.   Brief Interview
2.   The “Switch”
3.   Observation
4. Summarization
FOUR PRINCIPLES
#1 - CONTEXT
Conduct the inquiry in the actual context
in which the work is performed.
#2 - PARTNERSHIP
Collaborate to understand the user’s work.

#3 - INTERPRETATION
Share your interpretations and insights
with the user during the interview.
#4 - FOCUS
Steer the interaction toward topics that
are relevant to you.
THREE PRO TIPS
#1 - BE LIKABLE
People will be more likely to work in their
normal, natural way if they feel
comfortable around you.
#2 - NO AUDIO / VIDEO
It’s a pain to set up and runs the high risk
of making the subject less comfortable.
#3 - CAPTURE ARTIFACTS
Photos, screenshots, notes on paper;
whatever you can collect.
LET’S RECAP

1.   An ethnographic research method

2.   Happens in a real context

3.   Pick a model to follow

4.   Be likable & don’t disturb
THANK YOU
  LET’S DISCUSS!
