Title: Creating more agile and lean research techniques
Day/Date: Thursday, July 11, 2013
Time: 3:00pm - 7:00pm
Location:  Columbia 1
Session Type: Workshop
Description:

Traditional user research methods are great at getting us insightful data but there is a need to innovate and discover our place in the agile process. There's been innovation in what we use, specifically remote testing, mobile labs and unmoderated testing, but there's a lack of innovation in how we do it. It's time to bring together the great minds of our user research community and create new ways to get data that's just as awesome only faster, cheaper and hopefully more fun!
