Report: How Project Timelines Shape the Modern User Research Practice


The tables have turned, the researchers have become the participants.

We launched a project asking 300 UXRs to share their thoughts on research timelines. Notably what an ideal timeline feels like, how aligned they feel with stakeholders, and how they tackle projects that are tight on time.

In the report below, you'll get:

  • A full breakdown of findings (i.e. how long the average research project takes, which activities take the most time, the consequences of not having enough time)
  • Six common approaches researchers use to secure more project time
  • A quiz to determine which time-buying strategy your team relies on
  • Information on which team structure is most aligned
