Vad är User Interview Facilitation

User Interview Facilitation is the art of conducting effective interviews with users to uncover needs, motivations, and pain points. Good interviews go beyond asking questions; they create safe spaces where users feel comfortable sharing honest feedback (even negative feedback). You ask open-ended questions, listen deeply, ask follow-ups, and avoid leading users toward your assumptions. Interviews can be structured (set list of questions) or semi-structured (guide, but flexible). You recruit matching participants, conduct the interview, record with consent, transcribe, and analyze for themes.

❓ Vanliga frågor

How long should interviews be?
Exploratory interviews: 45–60 min. Targeted/validation interviews: 20–30 min. Remote is shorter (user attention), in-person is longer (richer conversation). Set expectations upfront.
Should I ask prepared questions or let users talk?
Both. Have 5–7 prepared open-ended questions as a guide. But follow curiosity; ask follow-ups when users say something interesting. 60% guide, 40% improvisation.
How do I avoid leading the user?
Ask open-ended questions: 'Tell me about your experience' not 'Did you like it?' Listen 80%, talk 20%. Don't suggest answers. If user is quiet, wait; they'll elaborate.
What if the user is wrong about what they want?
Exactly. Users often say one thing but do another. Watch behavior, not just words. The Mom Test book is essential reading on this.
How do I record and transcribe interviews?
Use Zoom (built-in recording) or Riverside.fm (high-quality). Get consent first. Transcribe with Otter.ai or Riverside auto-transcription. Review transcripts for accuracy.
