Why Avito needs cloud UX researchers and how to work with them

Hello everyone, my name is Mikhail Pravdin, I am the head of quality UX research at Avito. You may have seen my talk on ProductSense on how Avito conducts research, or listened to a podcast about CustDev's methods and tools that help create and develop products.



Almost everyone is aware of the importance of UX research for business in 2020, and a lot of excellent materials have been published on this topic: for example, Ksenia Sterlina from Arrival and UXSSR wrote that even if the company does not have a dedicated research role, the company cannot live without research at all can. Sinead Cochrane of Intercom says the same in the article "Any research is better than no research". The maximum risk, according to the Intercom team, is to create products without examining the experience, behavior and needs of real users.



But when a company starts doing research on a regular basis, another question arises - how to do even more research in order to test more hypotheses and find more insights?





Why do we need more research?
