UX/User Research Projects with Usertimes

OUR SERVICE PORTFOLIO

Usability/ UX Studies

Defined testing to evaluate hypotheses, prototypes, or live systems in the right context (device, location, customer journey steps).

Training

We support customers who want to establish their own user research capabilities, teams, tools, and processes, with training in terms of sensitization to the topic user research, enabling, and operation basics.

Card-Sorting Studies

Using a methodical approach to reveal a participant’s understanding of structures, hierarchies, topic clusters, and navigation.

Workshop moderation

While working on user research data it can be valuable to work in larger groups to discuss, align, and decide. We offer these workshops and moderation, for example, as project kickoffs or result handover events.

Kano Studies

Quantitative studies with your target group to evaluate features through a methodical approach by customer satisfaction and classify them into categories like must-haves and attractive features.

Prototype Testing

Precise testing of prototypical products and features through all maturity and fidelity stages. Based on our experience we’ll find a proper way to test your prototype suitable to its development stage.

Contextual Interviews

Focussing on the environment, use case, and contextual factors in the study which play a role in using a product or service. In some cases this is pure fieldwork at the user’s location.

Quantitative Surveys

General large-scale studies for statistical analysis and broader insights. Depending on the underlying problem this can reach from one question to a full-fledged answer book.

All those services are potential baselines of our deliverables and include conceptuation of the study, creation of interview guides and the recruitment of participants. Based on our expertise we consult in terms of methods and tools and the proper setup of these in remote or on-locations studies and during all product development phases.

YOU’RE IN GOOD COMPANY

Extremely efficient!

Within 4 days of the first contact a complex study with 55 randomized question pairs was created and conducted with more than 3000 participants.

In the context of this study Usertimes really impressed me with fast and extensive understanding of the task at hand, as well as with their efficient execution. I can absolutely recommend the services of Usertimes.

Johannes Traschütz, Head of Product Management Digital

Very Insightful!

The quick and insightful user test revealed significant hints to room for improvement.

Especially the customer’s journey from the presentation of our app in the app store to the in-app onboarding was identified as crucial step for optimization.

Rolf Borcherding, Senior Manager UX/UI

9% Uplift on Sign-Up

The extensive results from Usertimes constantly send valuable impulses to the whole product team. Based on the gathered insights we were able to achieve significant improvements, particularly a 9% increased sign-up rate.

OUR VIEW ON UX/USER RESEARCH

Understanding what your user wants is the key to successful user-centered Product development. User Research offers knowledge about your users and target group.
If you’re developing a new product or developing new features of an existing product, it is important to detect your user’s needs. This allows products to be tailored precisely to the user. It also significantly minimizes financial risks in software development if you implement your findings into your development process.
