Your Trainer
Tara Bosenick has been a UX specialist since 1999 and helped build the UX industry in Germany on the agency side.
With a degree in statistics and over 25 years of UX practice, she combines deep methodological expertise with real-world UX experience – and the rare ability to explain both clearly and practically.
She develops new UX methods, works on quantifying UX, and helps organizations implement evidence-based research – always with one goal: making it work.
Her passion lies in bridging the gap between statistics and design, enabling UX professionals to make data-driven decisions without getting lost in formulas.
“I’m more of a qualitative type.”Hands up if you’ve ever said that. Probably most of us. And honestly, it’s often true. Conducting interviews, moderating usability tests, understanding user needs – that’s where many UX professionals shine.
But here’s the problem: sooner or later, someone in a meeting asks for numbers. Sample sizes. Statistical significance. Data-based evidence.
And suddenly the room goes quiet.
Not because you have nothing to say – but because you lack the tools to support your insights with quantitative evidence.
Time to change that.
In this workshop, you won’t learn statistics for the sake of statistics. Instead, you’ll get a practical overview of the quantitative methods that actually matter in everyday UX work – clearly explained, immediately applicable, and without formulas on a whiteboard.
Why You Should Attend
No more “numbers blackout”
Learn how to use quantitative data so your research results stand up even in executive meetings – without endless explanations.
No statistics lecture – promised
All methods are explained through real UX questions and case examples. Practical, understandable, and directly applicable.
Qualitative and quantitative are not opposites
Learn how to combine both approaches so your research becomes more robust and your arguments stronger.
Learn from someone who understands both worlds
Tara studied statistics and has been working in UX for over 25 years. This combination is rare – and makes a big difference in how the material is taught.
Immediately applicable
You won’t leave with theoretical knowledge but with a practical methods toolkit you can use the very next day.
What to Expect
Foundations of Quantitative Research in UX
Before diving into methods, we establish the foundation. It may sound theoretical, but this is where you understand why some studies are reliable – and others aren’t.
Topics include:
Differences and synergies between qualitative and quantitative research
When quantitative methods are useful – and when they’re not worth the effort
Scientific basics: hypotheses, variables, measurement scales
Quality criteria: reliability, validity, objectivity – and what really matters in practice
Data Collection and Sampling
Garbage in, garbage out – the quality of your data determines everything that follows.
Topics include:
Fundamentals of sampling and sample size
Designing clean online surveys and quantitative user tests
Avoiding biases (spoiler: most people don’t notice them)
Data sources: from your own research to analytics data
Descriptive Statistics and Data Visualization
Preparing numbers so they reveal what is actually happening – not what we wish were happening.
Topics include:
Means, medians, and standard deviations – and why the difference matters
Understanding and interpreting frequency distributions
Recognizing and interpreting correlations correctly (correlation ≠ causation)
Best practices for visualizing quantitative UX data
Communicating results effectively to different audiences
Foundations of Inferential Statistics
The part many people fear – unnecessarily, when explained properly.
Topics include:
Core principles of statistical inference
p-values, confidence intervals, and statistical significance – what they really mean
A/B testing for UX questions: planning and evaluation
Common statistical fallacies and how to avoid them
Multivariate Methods and Advanced Analysis
For those who want to go further – an overview of more powerful analytical tools.
Topics include:
Regression analysis in the UX context
Factor analysis for identifying latent constructs
Cluster analysis for user segmentation and persona development
MaxDiff analysis for feature prioritization
Practical examples and interpretation guidance
Integrating Qualitative and Quantitative Methods
The real mastery lies in combining both approaches.
Topics include:
Foundations of mixed-methods research design
Using quantitative data to prepare qualitative research
Quantifying qualitative insights
Real-world examples of successful method integration
Practical Application and Tools
Ensuring what you learn doesn’t end up in a drawer.
Topics include:
Overview of useful tools for quantitative UX research
From Excel to specialized analytics software
Integrating quantitative research into agile workflows
Building your personal UX research methods toolkit
Outlook: UX metrics and KPIs (SUS, NPS, task-based metrics)
Who This Seminar Is For
This workshop is designed for anyone who wants to feel more confident working with numbers in the UX context.
Whether you have worked mostly qualitatively or simply want a structured overview of quantitative methods, this seminar provides the tools you’ve been missing.
Especially suitable for:
UX researchers who have mainly worked with qualitative methods
UX designers who want to support their design decisions with data
Product managers who want to better understand and use UX metrics
UX managers building comprehensive research programs
Professionals transitioning into UX who want to strengthen their quantitative skills
What You’ll Take Away
Understand quantitative methods in the UX context – and know which tool to use when
Collect and interpret data correctly – from sampling to statistical significance
Communicate results convincingly – win stakeholders over with data instead of gut feeling
Develop your own personal UX research toolkit that combines qualitative and quantitative methods
Recognize statistical pitfalls – so you can interpret data correctly, not just present it nicely
