[Original study] 300 UXRs on how timelines affect their practice

This week from People Nerds: Explore three takeaways from our recent UXR timelines project.

I spend a lot of time talking with insights professionals. Those conversations often surface a concern with time, and specifically the notion that there's never enough of it.   So we launched a survey asking the community about their perceptions of, experience with, and strategies for managing project timelines. 300 researchers responded, and the pieces in this newsletter are the result of that work.   We hope these data will add clarity to this often-mentioned, but rarely benchmarked aspect of human-centered research. Be sure to download the full report, which contains a quiz your team can use to identify time-buying tactics—and shift accordingly.   //Ben, Content Researcher @ dscout How much time should research really take? 300 UXRs share their perspective on ideal project timelines, how aligned they feel with stakeholders on time, and what's most likely to derail the delivery date.   TIME AFTER TIME Taking matters into your own hands When more time is needed for a project, how do you ensure it gets done? We distilled 200+ UXR responses into six tactics for getting research to the finish line.   HARDER BETTER FASTER STRONGER Building a more efficient structure How does where research "sits" within an org impact output? We explore which team structures are most aligned and strategies for collaborating more efficiently.   CLOSING TIME dscout is a company composed of People Nerds working to make context-rich human insight an everyday habit across organizations.
