What is this?

This session is part of a learning curriculum that I designed to incrementally skill up and empower a team of Designers and Researchers whose skillset and ways of working needed to evolve to keep up with changes in the way we think about and execute design.

Each session in the curriculum aims to simplify the complexities of human-centered interaction design using real-life examples from my own professional experience alongside established theory from industry experts.

The sessions are intentionally structured as short, achievable hands-on learning workshops that balance technique (hands-on, doing) with theory (readout, presentation).

_Why am I sharing this? _I have open-sourced this content to help others understand the fundamentals of human-centered interaction design and the multi-dimensional skillset needed to be successful in complex, collaborative environments.

What is the focus of this session?

Context — An understanding of how to approach the work

What are the goals of this session?

This session provides participants with techniques for establishing _context_around their research by assessing the value and efficiency of answering a question via UX Research at the onset of a project, before they get started.

Additionally, the step-by-step framework and hands-on exercises in the session internalizethe value of _Context _by challenging each participant to answer a series of up-front questions that establish the _Who, What, Where, When, and Why _around a question they (or their team) feel could be best answered via UX Research.
