What are User Interviews

User Interviews are structured conversations with users to gather in-depth insights about their needs, behaviors, preferences, and pain points. They provide qualitative data through direct dialogue with target users.

How to conduct User Interviews

Key practices include:

  • Preparation: Creating discussion guides and screening participants
  • Active Listening: Engaging with responses and following up on key points
  • Documentation: Recording insights and notable quotes
  • Analysis: Identifying patterns and themes across interviews

When to use User Interviews

Conduct interviews during early research phases, problem definition, concept validation, or when deep user understanding is needed. They're particularly valuable for exploring complex behaviors and understanding user motivations.

Benefits of User Interviews

Interviews provide rich contextual information, help build empathy with users, uncover unexpected insights, and allow for detailed exploration of specific topics. They form a foundation for user-centered design decisions.
