SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

This Skill helps teams systematically uncover user needs, usability issues, and behavioral insights so design and product decisions are grounded in evidence rather than assumptions.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • User Interviews & Moderation: Design interview guides, recruit appropriate participants, and synthesize qualitative findings.
  • Usability Testing: Plan and run moderated and unmoderated usability tests to surface UX friction and measure task success.
  • Surveys & Quantitative Analysis: Create surveys, plan sample sizes, and apply basic statistical analysis to quantify user behavior.
  • Information Architecture Studies: Run card sorting and tree tests to validate navigation and content structure.
  • Longitudinal & Field Research: Set up diary studies and contextual inquiries for deeper behavioral insight.
  • Synthesis & Artifacts: Produce personas, journey maps, research reports, prioritized recommendations, and stakeholder-ready summaries.
  • Research Operations: Build recruitment criteria, consent protocols, and repeatable research processes that respect ethics and privacy.

Quick Start

Design a semi-structured interview protocol to validate the onboarding flow for our mobile productivity app with 10 participants.
