What is the primary purpose of conducting observations in user research?

• To develop new products

• To keenly observe user behavior, interactions, and environments to gather insights

• To increase sales

• To reduce production costs

In which settings can observations be conducted?

• Only in real-life contexts

• Only in simulated environments

• Both real-life contexts and simulated environments

• Only in controlled laboratory settings

How do observations help designers?

• By providing data on production efficiency

• By understanding how users engage with products or services and identifying pain points or areas for improvement

• By increasing the marketing reach

• By setting product prices

What are insights in the context of user research?

• Statistical data on user demographics

• Derived understanding from observations, interviews, and other research methods to uncover underlying user needs and motivations

• Financial reports on product sales

• Technical specifications of products

Why are insights valuable in the design process?

• They provide financial forecasts

• They inform problem framing, ideation, and prototyping stages

• They increase the production speed

• They enhance the product’s technical features
