Understanding how users experience your product at critical moments to optimize future designs
• Ask individuals to describe a situation with your product or service.
• Collect positive and negative experiences through directed storytelling, interviews, or diary studies to identify:
– The incident cause: What were the events leading up to the critical incident?
– User actions: What were the behaviors that took place during the incident?
– User sentiment: How did the user feel during the incident and afterward?
– Incident outcome: Did the user change how he or she behaved after the incident?
– Ideal outcome: What are possible future outcomes?
• Representative scenarios cover possible explanations and recommendations.
• Prioritize and triangulate with other research to gain a better understanding of situations that have a profound impact on user behavior.
