UX Research Strategies for Products that Support Groups

Different UX research strategies are required for products that support groups and communities than for products that are for individual use. Products for groups require studying multiple users interacting together, and resulting UX research artifacts must include different user perspectives. In this talk, I will discuss techniques for capturing and explaining group workflows, with examples that draw from research on enterprise software and social consumer apps.
