# What it says:
The problems :
Problem 1 : Several teams that collect qualitative and quantitative data on subjects that could be connected without learning being shared.
Problem 2 : If the search is shared, it is still difficult to navigate in the formats generally used (slides, excels, etc.) and which are generally linked to a specific project, with a different formalization of the hypotheses for each team.
Problem 3 : Most often it is “insights” and conclusions that are shared and these bear the angle of the people who formulated them.
# The solution: Atomic Research
First distributed repository of UX and knowledge that works for large teams and companies.
Theorized by Daniel Pidcock.
– The information drawn from the research is cut into small pieces -> hence the notion ofatomic.
– The information must be easy to find via a search function, shared with all the teams, the company and must be able to be updated (searchable, shareable, updatable).
The 4 “steps” :
- Experiences : Experiments set up to confirm or invalidate the hypotheses (interviews, surveys, user tests, A/B tests, etc.). It is important to cross several types of experiments in order to recover both qualitative and quantitative data, both behavioral and affirmative.
- facts : verbatims, statistical data… drawn from previous experiments.
- Insights : the interpretation of researchers / UX designers related to the facts.
- Conclusion : decisions and next steps for the team.
Rules of Atomic Design :
– Being able to identify source an insight and a conclusion
– Remove the angle the staff
– Encourage taking decision based on facts
– Eliminate distance waste by sharing know it effectively
