👋 Hey, Nikki here! Welcome to this month’s ✨ free podcast ✨ of User Research Academy. Each week I tackle reader questions about the ins and outs of user research through my podcast, and share super concrete tips and examples on user research methods, approaches, careers, or situations.
You’re absolutely right that CDH has no rigor. The main alarming issue that I’ve experienced first hand is that CDH teaches everyone on the product team should do the research and no full time researcher is needed. Btw I’m unemployed now. Know anyone hiring?
Exactly - it gives the impression that everyone should own research rather than having an expert lead/own the process while still enabling others to do some more basic research (ex usability testing, survey building) with guidance and feedback.
I don't know anyone in particular but I do try to share roles I see via LinkedIn!
I love your content - find it difficult to listen to the podcast. Friendly feedback, it feels like it takes at least 10 minutes to get to the point/page. 5 minutes in and I'm not sure what what type of continuous discovery you're referring too, there's so many ways to approach it. I usually turn it off about 10 mins.
Hi Ashley! Thank you for your feedback, I appreciate it. I have some previous resources on Continuous Discovery (https://userresearchacademy.substack.com/p/episode-43-continuous-discovery) so didn't want to repeat myself too much, but can appreciate there are so many ways to approach this. Hope future content feels more helpful for you!
