Best Practices

Great qualitative research starts with an even greater framework

The first step to speeding your time to insights is to design your research with the end in mind. Prior to your session, use tools that allow you to structure your conversations, collaborate with key stakeholders and uncover themes.

Discussion Guide: Bringing your discussion guide into Discuss not only helps you stay on track during your live conversations but also sets you up for success. When scrolling through your machine transcript, you can see when questions were asked and can move the location of the annotation to help improve the readability of your sessions.

Key Takeaways: Hearing your stakeholders’ reactions and thoughts on the research can help inform your recommendations and findings. Before your sessions, program a few questions for moderators and collaborators to answer immediately after the interview or group.

Autoclipping & Save Moment: Creating autoclips prior to and during your research helps you mark insightful moments before and while they are happening. As themes emerge, clips are automatically created allowing you to uncover insights in minutes versus days.
