Flying Solo in UX Research? Here's Why Your Own Research Repository is a Must-Have!
A complementary template included!
Last week was truly eventful!
We had an incredible mini-skillshop on Building an Affordable & Accessible UX Research Repository. We broke down the process of creating a UX repository on a budget. The recording of the session is now available on the Research Bookmark platform.
5 reasons you should create a Research repository even as a team of one
Don't be fooled by the misconception that a repository is only for the many. Even as a team of one, there are compelling reasons why you should embark on creating your very own.
Personal Organization: Even as a team of one, organizing your research materials in a systematic way can significantly improve your efficiency and productivity. By having a repository, you can easily find and reference past research findings, insights, and artifacts, which saves time and effort when conducting new studies or analyzing data.
Knowledge Management: You accumulate valuable insights and knowledge over time. Having a repository allows you to capture and retain this information in a centralized location. It becomes a personal knowledge base that you can refer back to, ensuring that your research work is not lost or forgotten.
Future Collaboration: While you may be a solo researcher now, there may come a time when you collaborate with others, such as designers, developers, or product managers. Having a repository in place can facilitate knowledge sharing and collaboration by providing a structured and accessible resource for team members to access and understand your research findings.
Documentation and Reporting: A research repository enables you to document your research methodologies, findings, and recommendations in a consistent and organized manner. This makes it easier for you to generate research reports, presentations, or other deliverables when communicating your findings to stakeholders or when sharing insights with the broader team.
Personal Growth and Development: By maintaining a repository, you can track your research progress over time and identify patterns or trends in your work. This helps you reflect on your own growth as a researcher, understand your strengths and areas for improvement, and refine your research methods and approaches.
To help you get started, we have a UX repository template that you can use as a foundation for your own repository.
