Interviews
Save the person's goal and the words they used.
UX designers
Keep user interview details and design decisions easy to find.
After an interview or test, tell your Dossier what the person tried, where they got stuck, and what the team needs to check next.
After a usability test Saved
Marco looked for billing under Account, not Settings. He expected to see the renewal date before tapping Manage. Test the label with two more people.
Your Dossier keeps
Person
Marco looked under Account
Problem
Renewal date was hidden too late
Question
Test the label with two more people
Before the design review
Show Marco's billing problem. Propose Account and test the label again.
How it helps
Useful when the small moment matters to the design.
Your Dossier keeps the person's words, the problem, and the next question together.
Usability tests
Remember where they looked and what confused them.
Decisions
Keep what the team changed and the reason for it.
A simple routine
Brief it after. Ask before.
You do not need to clean up the note or put it in a folder.
After it happens
- Brief what the person tried to do.
- Save where they got stuck.
- Say what the team should test next.
Before you need it
- Ask for examples of the same problem.
- Review the person's exact words.
- Check why the last design changed.
Questions
What this does and does not do.
Is this a research repository?
No. Keep recordings, consent, and formal research in approved tools. Your Dossier is for the reminders you choose to brief.
Can it replace usability analysis?
No. It helps you remember what happened. You still interpret the research.
Review user feedback before the next design review.
Brief what happened and ask for it before the next review.
