Key points about user research
• At least consider what you should do, as well as what you can• Eg surveys of users are easy, but only tell you what current users think
• Research does not have to be perfect to be useful• It’s for your benefit, not for academic publication
• No single method will give you the full picture
• Beware unsupported web analytics/“deep log analysis”• Without financial value of transactions, understanding success is hard
