⛳️ What

The ShopBack research team is responsible for providing insights through user studies that help teams across the organisation solve tricky business and product problems. Last year, the team grew from a 1-person team to a team of 4 researchers, where they’re experimenting through trials and errors, with the different formats of team engagement to facilitate more meaningful conversations and work processes. This makes for an agile, experimental and empathetic culture. In this session, Jasmine and Amy will walk you through their work processes and toolset at ShopBack, and how these tools can help you facilitate better research team cultures.
