UX interviews – a structured conversations between a professionally trained researcher and a user where the researcher seeks to understand the user’s past experiences, needs, and perceptions related to a product, service, or system.

Our goal though interviews is to gain your users perspective, that would lead to insights that will inform and improve the design process, making the end product more effective, enjoyable, and suited to the core user base.

Through UX interviews, we bridge the gap between design intentions and user experiences. This allows us us to refine and tailor the design in a way that resonates with, and even suprises, the end user.

Just 5 UX interviews

can make a huge difference

It’s been found that interviewing just five users can uncover about 85% of usability problems. This is because user experiences tend to follow patterns, and after interviewing a handful of users, you start to hear the same comments repeated. Beyond a certain point, additional interviews provide diminishing returns.

You don’t need to conduct countless interviews, you do need to conduct enough to get a well-rounded view of user needs and experiences, and these should be spread across the different user groups that are relevant to your product or service.

Benefits of UX interviews

UX interviews gives an opportunity hear users voice. They offer a chance to understand what drives user behavior, what they value, and what they hope to achieve by using your product or service. Gained knowledge guides your design process, enables the creation of features and experiences that resonate with these motivations.

Feedback obtained from users during UX interviews leads to the generation of new ideas. Users often share unique perspectives and insights that can challenge your product assumptions and open up innovative paths.

One of the key benefits of UX interviews is the ability to identify user pain points. These are issues or challenges that users may encounter with your product, causing frustration or abandonment of their journey. Once identified – issues can be addressed in your design process, significantly enhancing the overall user experience.

Through user interviews, we directly understand user needs, allowing products to be designed in an innovative and user-centric manner. In a saturated market, a product that stands out is often one informed by these interviews, ensuring a tailored experience that genuinely aligns with user expectations.

Overcoming Shortcomings in UX interviews

Critics of user interviews often argue that they are time-consuming, subject to bias, and offer limited scope due to their small participant size. The reliance on verbal feedback may not always align with actual behavior, the lack of quantitative data, the potential high costs, and the subjectivity in interpreting the results.

Ensuring interviews are conducted with a diverse set of users that represent the target audience is crucial. Different segments of users exhibit different behaviors and preferences. By including a broad range, data skewing can be prevented, and a richer understanding of the user base can be achieved.
Creating realistic interview scenarios that mimic the way users would typically use the product in real life is another key strategy. These scenarios generate insights that are applicable and valuable, providing a more accurate picture of the user experience.
Using a mix of quantitative methods like surveys and qualitative methods such as interviews and observation can significantly enhance the insights gathered. While quantitative data provides broad patterns and trends, qualitative data uncovers the ‘why’ behind those patterns.
User interviews are subject to various forms of bias. This includes the possibility that participants may not be fully honest or self-aware, which can lead to inaccurate or misleading feedback, as well as the potential for the interviewer’s own biases to impact the questioning and interpretation of responses.
