  • 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.
