The Absence of Research is Guessing: Introduction to Market and UX Research

There is a technical term for the absence of research: guessing. Research, when executed well, mitigates the risks of guessing and enables us to develop products and services that meet our clients needs. Research can also help us identify pain points with our existing products and show us the way of developing better ones! But how do you do research? When to do it yourself and when to hire a researcher? Which research methods to choose? Get the answers you need and grasp the significance of research, learn how to identify and tackle bias, and understand their impact on developing and assessing products and services!
