On finding the depth that sets you apart, and earning a reputation along the way
I'm often asked to recommend a tool or vendor for a research project. Over the course of 20+ years doing applied research, I've come to rely on a set of suppliers and software to consider when needed
I’ve recently had discussions with other Quant UXRs about “rigor” and what it means in our work. I’ve often heard it raised as a question over the years, and this prompted me to compile some thoughts. I propose a stack with 4 levels of how I view “ri...
Kelly Moran [Note from Chris: This week I've invited a post from Kelly Moran, a longtime colleague and exceptionally thoughtful and experienced qualitative researcher and anthropologist. Many of us are familiar with the qual/quant "sandwich" that alt...
In the past few months, I’ve had many conversations with senior folks across a variety of MAMANG and similar companies. These are all UXR managers or senior ICs (L5 and up, largely L6-L8 if you’re familiar with those levels). I expected to hear a var...
My book with Kerry Rodden, Quantitative User Experience Research (aka "the Quant UX book"; link) was published in June 2023. Based on previous books (such as my "R book" with Elea McDonnell Feit), I estimate that far less than 1% of readers share reviews.
So far, there are three Amazon reviews, and all 5 star ratings. Unfortunately, Amazon doesn't allow quoting reviews ... but some of the themes are:
The book is highly applied and useful for actual industry practice
The reviewers wish they had a book like it when they started
It is similar to learning from senior mentors sharing what they have learned
It will help newcomers build skills in Quant UX ... and help longtime practitioners build new knowledge
It focuses on career advice at all levels — from those new to UX to senior contributors who are looking for advice at a "staff-plus" level
Authors are often advised not to read reviews ... although as a UXR, I ignore that and love to hear from readers! To find the complete reviews, visit the Amazon book page. Or find the book at the publisher's site (including a DRM-free PDF version) or your favorite bookstore anywhere.
Finally ... thank you to the reviewers for their thoughts! If you read the book, consider leaving a review. Or reach out to me or Kerry at our various contact locations (e.g., LinkedIn).
