[FREE] UX Research Plan Template

This is a comprehensive UX research plan template designed to guide you through every step of your research process. It's a free resource that I've created to help UX researchers and designers conduct effective and efficient research.

This template includes sections on:

1. Contextualisation: Understand the background of your product and define the team, business basics, user context, and terminology.
2. Definition: Sharpen your research focus by defining the research problem, objectives, and questions.
3. Measurement: Establish indicators for the success of your research, discuss data relevance, underlying assumptions, usage of research, and key performance indicators (KPIs).
4. Planning: Organise your research study processes, including methodology, deliverables, and tools.
5. Recruitment: Frame the people you would reach out to, calculate the number of participants, discuss incentives, and create a respondent screener.
6. Timeline: Plan your research activities effectively, including start, end, and milestone dates.
7. Session Script: Guide your conversation and keep it on track.

This template is designed to be flexible and adaptable to your specific research needs. Whether you're conducting a small usability study or a large-scale user survey, this template provides a solid foundation for planning and executing your research.
