UX24/7 Global UXR Newsletter
What's in this Month's issue
Welcome to April's?edition of the UX Crucible! As?usual, we bring?you the best of international User Research,?Research Ops and Product related stories from around the world in the past 30-days.
I have another download for you this month, with the inclusion of Maze's report about "The Future of User Research". And on similar lines, Rosenfield Media held a discussion about the future of UX Research?with some industry big-hitters.
Carrying forward the video theme at least, I have included a brand new interview that I conducted last week with Amanda Gelb where we talked about Rapid Research. And from our blog, two posts about Rolling Research and Continuous Research respectively.
As usual there are some interesting events to attend and no less than Pulse Labs, UX in the era?of AI, which is taking place online, May 7th. And other options include Pixel Pioneers conference in Bristol and on the other side of the globe, High-Fidelity in Melbourne. Maybe just pick one of those!
I hope you enjoy this months selection of articles and if you have written something you think would be interesting to our readers, do get in touch!
