Frequently Asked QuestionsResearch
-
UX research provides the greatest value when an organization needs to understand something before making a decision. It can be conducted when creating a new product, redesigning a service, adding features, evaluating an existing experience, or validating a hypothesis before investing in development.
It is also useful when metrics indicate a problem but do not yet explain why it is occurring. Investigating helps reduce uncertainty and guide decisions with evidence about people, the context, and their actual needs.
-
Research helps us understand why people make certain decisions, what obstacles they encounter during an experience, and what opportunities exist to improve it.
Its results make it possible to optimize digital and in-person processes, increase product adoption, improve conversion rates, reduce friction in services, and guide the development of solutions aligned with business objectives.
-
They do not serve the same purpose; rather, they complement each other. Analytics reveals what is happening within a product or service through behavioral data. UX research helps us understand the reasons behind those behaviors by observing, interviewing, and listening to people.
Together, they provide a more comprehensive view, enabling you to make decisions with greater confidence.
-
We define profiles based on the study’s questions and context. In qualitative research, we seek relevant participants to observe experiences and patterns; these findings do not automatically represent an entire population.
In quantitative studies, the sample design and analysis determine the scope of the conclusions. The proposal explains the selection criteria and the number of participants.
-
It depends on the scope and complexity of the project and the availability of the participants. Some studies can be completed in a few weeks, while others require several stages. Rather than a standard duration, what matters is that the methodology provides the evidence needed to answer the project’s questions and support decision-making.
-
Each project concludes with actionable recommendations, supported by evidence gathered during the research.
Depending on the objectives, deliverables may include prioritized findings, user profiles, experience maps, opportunities for improvement, design principles, conceptual models, or guidelines for product and service development. The purpose is to facilitate decisions that can be implemented.
-
Research is valuable when it succeeds in transforming observations into concrete actions. For this reason, findings are analyzed based on their impact on people’s experiences and the organization’s objectives. Rather than simply describing behaviors, the work involves identifying opportunities, prioritizing initiatives, and developing recommendations that can guide strategic and operational decisions.
-
Yes. A lot of research is conducted on products or services that are already in use. Analyzing real-world experiences makes it possible to identify opportunities for optimization, understand new user needs, detect barriers that affect performance, and evaluate how the experience evolves as people’s expectations and the market change.
-
Yes. Research yields better results when it draws on the knowledge that already exists within the organization. Throughout the project, we work alongside teams from product, technology, business, innovation, and user experience, integrating different perspectives to enrich the analysis and help turn the findings into shared decisions.
-
An organization derives greater value from research when it faces important decisions and needs to better understand people in order to reduce uncertainty. Whether there are questions about user behavior, growth opportunities, challenges in adopting a service, or digital transformation initiatives, research provides evidence to move forward with greater confidence and build solutions aligned with real needs.
Training
-
UX Adoption (Level 1) provides the fundamentals for integrating user experience into projects and teams.
UX Implementation (Level 2) trains participants to plan, coordinate, and execute UX projects systematically.
UX Leadership (Level 3) develops the skills needed to lead teams, advance design maturity, and align the user experience with business strategy. Each level lasts 8 hours.
-
Yes. UX-PM is an international program offered by UXalliance, the global network of independent UX consulting firms, and AyerViernes delivers it in Latin America.
Upon passing the exam, you will receive the international diploma for this level, the same one that has been awarded to more than 15,000 professionals worldwide.
-
Yes. We design programs, workshops, and mentoring sessions for product, technology, business, and innovation teams, based on the specific challenges of each organization.
They may include the levels of the UX-PM certification or specific content related to research and design.
-
In Spanish, offered both in person and remotely, with groups of 8 to 12 participants, a certified instructor, and official UXalliance materials.
-
Each level combines live classes, hands-on exercises, and analysis of real-world case studies, and concludes with an assessment. Passing the assessment earns you the corresponding level of the international UX-PM certification.
Transactional Design
-
It refers to the design of the moments when a person completes an action that adds value to the business: making a purchase, paying, registering, logging in, or solving a problem on their own.
We design checkout, onboarding, authentication, payments, and self-service so that every step is clear, secure, and consistent.
-
We measure before redesigning: how many people enter a flow, how many move forward, and where they stop. That baseline allows us to compare results after launch and express the outcome in terms of conversion, drop-off, or service cost. Measurement is the fifth step in our methodology.
-
Yes. We deliver prototypes, functional specifications, and system design components intended for development, and we work closely with the product and technology teams during implementation.
-
Yes. We build design systems with components, usage guidelines, and accessibility criteria so that teams, products, and services speak the same language and scale consistently.
-
The duration depends on the number of workflows, platforms, and prior research. We define the timeline and scope during our first conversation, with deliverables for each phase so your team can see progress from the start.
Artificial Intelligence
-
Yes. We use AI systems to assist with certain tasks related to organizing, analyzing, comparing, and exploring information. Their use depends on the characteristics, restrictions, and agreements established for each project.
-
You can identify patterns, relationships, or hypotheses that are useful for the analysis. For something to be considered a finding, it must be testable and supported by the original research evidence.
-
AI is one of the tools available to our teams. The interpretation and evaluation of evidence, understanding of context, and responsibility for conclusions remain within the realm of human professional judgment.
-
We assess what information can be processed based on the nature of the project, the agreements in place, the characteristics of the tools used, and applicable privacy regulations.
-
It can be used to help organize information, compare responses, identify recurring themes, or explore patterns. The results are then cross-checked against the original sources before being incorporated into the analysis.
-
AI can assist with tasks such as translation, organizing information, or comparing markets. Linguistic and cultural interpretation remains under the supervision of researchers capable of understanding the local context in which the evidence was produced.
