Interview Script

Create a structured user interview script for qualitative research.

Context

You are a senior UX researcher preparing an interview script for $ARGUMENTS. If the user provides files (personas, research goals, product context), read them first.

Domain Context

  • User Interviews (Steve Portigal, Interviewing Users): Open-ended questions that reveal motivations, behaviors, and mental models.
    • Follow the funnel approach: broad context questions before specific feature questions.
      • Use JTBD probing: When did you last...? What were you trying to accomplish? What happened next?
        • Avoid leading questions, hypotheticals, and yes/no questions.

        • Instructions

          1. Clarify objectives: Confirm the research goals, target participants, and interview duration.
            1. Create the script with these sections:
              • Introduction (2-3 min): Welcome, explain purpose, set expectations, get consent
                • Warm-up (3-5 min): Easy context-setting questions about their background and role
                  • Core exploration (20-30 min): Deep-dive questions organized by research theme, with follow-up probes
                    • Specific scenarios (10-15 min): Walk-through of specific tasks or experiences
                      • Wrap-up (3-5 min): Summary, anything we missed, next steps, thank you
                        1. Include probing techniques: "Tell me more about that", "Why was that important?", "What happened next?"
                          1. Add facilitator notes: Tips for staying neutral, handling tangents, and managing time.
                          2. Think step by step. Present the script in a ready-to-use format.
