This article by Sheylla Lima explores using the collaboration platform Notion to effectively organize and document the user experience research process.
Lima begins by introducing Notion’s versatility in combining meeting notes, tasks lists, product roadmaps, and design repositories. She then shares her system for creating a research repository using Notion, with each project given its own sequentially numbered page.
A research template is recommended, with key subpages for briefing, methodology, recruiting, execution, and results. The briefing captures background and objectives. Methodology details the chosen methods and timeline. Recruiting houses participant communications. Execution stores unfinished analysis. And results publishes final reports, videos, and presentations.
By collecting past and current research within Notion, insights become accessible across an organization. Standardization also aids future projects. In summary, Lima presents Notion as a simple, affordable way to transform user experience findings into an enduring asset for any company.
