Compose an evaluation plan

A solid evaluation plan transforms chaotic testing into systematic discovery. Without planning, you'll waste time testing random features while missing critical user journeys. Your plan should clearly define what you're testing, why it matters, and how you'll measure success.

Start by defining the scope based on user priorities and business goals. You can't test everything at once, so focus on high-impact features and risky assumptions. Include user profiles, specific scenarios, relevant wireframes, and chosen evaluators. This focused approach yields actionable insights rather than overwhelming findings.

Essential plan components include:

• User personas representing your audience
• Goals users want to achieve
• Scenarios showing task flows
• Wireframes covering these scenarios
• Qualified evaluators
• Evaluation criteria
