# 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

Great hidden word game!
A hidden word has slipped into the text but has nothing to do with it. Yet this word is important to us. If, on the day of publication, you find it and post this article on Twitter first with the hashtag #CalendrierUXRepublic and the hidden word, you win a set of UX-Cards or a Set of Zoning Cards. Be careful, you can only win once... then you have to give others a chance 😉!
