During these experiences I\u2019ve been lucky to have the experience of working in an established research team to guide me, and collaborated with some great colleagues to help evolve the teams to their contexts. Spending time in some of the research and UX communities, I have seen people struggling with some of the problems that have been solved within the teams we\u2019ve established, and thought that writing down an approach would be beneficial to the wider research community.<\/p>\n<p>Some of the topics that the book will cover include:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Advocating for user research inside an organisation and get buy-in for building a research team<\/li>\n<li>Budgeting for and equipping a research team appropriately<\/li>\n<li>Creating the templates and tools needed to run research<\/li>\n<li>Running studies that are impactful and accurate<\/li>\n<li>Optimising the research team\u2019s workflow, removing inefficiencies and creating an ethos of continual improvement<\/li>\n<li>Growing a research team long-term<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>The book is currently up to around 50,000 words, but will hopefully be a bit shorter after a further round of edits. There\u2019s a few contributions I\u2019m still looking to finish off, and some illustrations to be done, but I\u2019m optimistic it\u2019ll be ready early in the new year.<\/p>\n<p>If you\u2019re interested in hearing about when the book is ready, there is a mailing list to sign up too. The mailing list will only be sent to once, when the book is ready to buy. <a href=\"https:\/\/tinyletter.com\/SteveBromley\">A link to hear about the book is here.<\/a><\/p>\n<p>More to come as progress is made!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Why and how I wrote the book &#8216;Building User Research Teams&#8217;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[118],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-2392","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-user-research","grve-entry-item","grve-blog-item"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v15.0 -
