Great product for Qual Researchers

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

I am part of the research team in the bank specifically focussing on Design Research. A large part of my job is doing qualitative research for a large product area. We use Lookback to chat with our research participants remotely on both, mobile and desktop. <div>We heavily rely on Lookback for mobile heavy interviews since one of our main product area is our native mobile app. </div><div>We also have our stakeholders watch interviews live and engage in the chat room to discuss observations during the session. </div>

Pros

  • Organising interviews for mobile devices
  • Observer links so people can watch without interrupting the session
  • Video transcriptions

Cons

  • Unmoderated interviews is still under cooked as a feature
  • The process of how participants have to download an app to start an interview is a large friction point for us

Most Important Features

  • Interviewing live
  • Sending out observer links

Return on Investment

  • It allows stakeholder engagement and that’sa huge plus especially if it’s happening discretely in the background and theyre not interrupting the interview
