Ethnographic Research: Understanding people around you

Welcome to the course on ethnographic research! It’s a method used to understand people around you, an example of ethnographic research is user research, where you learn about the needs and desires of a particular user type.

It is typically used to set the context & direction at the beginning of your projects, generate insights and get feedback throughout the project cycle, and communicate the findings to your colleagues, supervisor, and management.

It is widely used by UX researchers that want to understand and empathize with users and customers, product teams that want to design great products or services, and now leaderships that want to build great workplace culture and environments.
