The Anaplan Community recently came out with many new badges to award and show appreciation to our members for their involvement. One of those badges—the UX Research Superstar badge—awards Community members for participating in research carried out by the User Experience (UX) team.
At Anaplan, our UX team spends a lot of time with customers and partners in order to understand their roles, goals, and motivations. The team's goal is to use this information to design great experiences for them. Our team does this through a variety of methods such as 1:1 interviews, observations, surveys, and usability studies using prototypes of new designs.
Through these assessments, we've learned a lot. For example, we’ve learned that builders want a seamless experience when building models and pages, optimized for managing multiple objects in a central place without lots of clicking. We've also learned that business users, such as analysts and planners, want to get to their content quickly, focusing on what is important to them and knowing just when they need to take an action.
We’ve gained such insights by spending hundreds of hours in research sessions with our users, listening to them speak about their jobs and what they need to be successful. We’ve included them in iterative design testing to ensure that what we build works in the ways our users expect.

Being able to shape the direction of where Anaplan is going and then seeing the impact of those conversations later down the line is something that we should all look to take part in.
Everyone should want to be a UX Research Superstar!
