Sometimes a lot of learning happens through user testing. And do you have a story of something really crazy or super awkward that happened? Yes. So I was working with a colleague actually, this is when I was doing some stuff at eBay. You're always aware that there are people watching through cameras or through that two way mirror. But your users, you know, effectively the participants you're working with, you don't want them to feel as relaxed as possible.
Joe Leech shows us how psychology helps frame what we’re seeing in user research. He articulates why the superpower we need is understanding how business works. He inspires us get out of our seat and talk to executives in the organization more about the business. He also challenges us to not just always be shipping, but always be shipping the right things.
