This is a UX questionnaire which the business stakeholders need to fill at the start of any project. The questions in this document aim to bring out the background and goals upon which the business is based on. Not only this, it also helps the design / development team understand and outline the solution approach going forward.
House Rules (important):
- Each stakeholder must individually answer this questionnaire (without discussing with each other).
- Be as specific as you can. Avoid vague and uncertain terms and measures while answering.
- Questions require good amount of thinking. Therefore, please sit in a calm / quiet environment with ample time at hand, preferably. Don’t try to fill it up in hurried state of mind.
- It is important to answer each and every question in the as much detail as you can.
- All are open ended questions so there are no right or wrong answers. Try to be as descriptive as you can, while answering.
- Some questions may appear repetitive / similar, but they differ in context. Try to provide a relevant view of such questions depending on which sections they are present in.
