The Contextual Research Plan creates a calendar overview for all observation and research tasks in the innovation project.
The Contextual Research Plan is a method for purposefully developing a calendared overview of all contemplated and planned observation and research activities.
This tool answers questions such as:
– What methods should be used?
– When should we talk to which experts?
– Which surveys should be conducted and when?
– Who is responsible for which activity in the team?
– What resources do we need?
– What is the overall timeframe that can be expected?
– and much more
Working with the Contextual Research Plan early and continuously as a team creates the necessary efficiency and motivation for project implementation. The very process of jointly developing the Contextual Research Plan provides good joint team alignment.
The key data in the Contextual Research Plan are: Research, Teams, Tasks, Times, Duration, Resources, Methods, Milestones, and Results.
