Building User Research Teams
How to start and grow UX research teams
The best selling user research book for people starting and growing new user research teams.
Building User Research Teams is the guide on how to start a new UX research team.
Learn how to budget and equip a team, create tools templates & run great studies.
I am an experienced user researcher, and have helped set up many research teams.
I'm really excited about this opportunity to share how to do it - I'm particularly enthusiastic about advocating and evangelising research, so we go into that in depth.
Other topics I cover include how to:
Convince colleagues that user research is worthwhile
Budget for and equip a research team
Create the templates and tools needed to run research
Run studies that are impactful and useful
Optimise your research team’s workflow
Grow a research team long-term
So far, the reception to the book has been great. Here are some comments that people have said:
“A great practical guide to collaborative user research”
“I wish this book existed 2 years ago, when I was first making the jump to user research manager.”
“An extremely useful resource – A practical step by step guide of how to build a User Research Team from scratch“
“The demand for user researchers is on a rise, and with that comes the need to organise the bits that enable research insight to pack a punch in design decisions. This was timely read for me, loved it.”
"More than a book – it gives us clarity on how to advocate for UX in a company and gives a lot of good tips and advice on how to get everyone on board with UX.”
If you are a new research leader, someone considering hiring their first researcher, or UX designer looking to grow your research skills, this book is for you!
---- I forgot to mention! The book also comes with lots of free templates for a new user research team, including the study design template, templates for note taking, and a report template. Everything you need to get started! ----
I love Steve's approach, and there's always a soft-spot in my heart for another user researcher with a background in the world of games ;). Great stuff.
