      A useful user research hypothesis ties together behaviors, needs, and opportunities. Independently observing these is just the first step — taken separately they lack explanatory power. 1/pic.twitter.com/UnHoSbMaBq

      Teams new to user research often use it to verify basic facts: "users do X." Then they start making assumptions about why users are doing this, and assumptions about what they should build. But if you don't test the full hypothesis, you're building on a foundation of sand. 2/

      You see this a lot with analytics. "This page has high bounce rates. There is content below the fold. Therefore users leave because they don't scroll. Create a Jira ticket to redesign the page." Stop! What if that's not the right content, or scrolling is not the friction? 3/

      "Users leave this page because the content they were looking for is below the fold" is an assumption. Sure, you could test that assumption by shipping a whole page redesign, but it's risky to base such a slow and expensive task on a jump to conclusions. 4/

      When you test the hypothesis as a whole you might find: -The behavior we observed is linked to a different goal -The goal is blocked by a second, bigger friction -The friction we assumed exists is not interfering with the behavior Each of these would torpedo the "solution." 5/

      "Does this solve the problem for the person experiencing it" is a very different question from "does this solve the problem in abstract, stripped of its context". You need to answer the first question, or you might end up building a solution for an imagined customer. 6/6

          Remember how these order kiosks were supposed to replace the staff at McDonald's? And how you don't see them anymore, because they don't actually solve the customer's problem?pic.twitter.com/FC3ZfA6MTY
