Establish a centralized research repository

Creating a centralized UX research repository can significantly boost your team's UX culture and maturity.

This repository serves as a unified hub, housing essential elements for effective UX work, including:

• Strategic and detailed research plans which outline the focus and methods of upcoming projects
• Schedules that detail when and where research activities will occur
• Research requests from various team members seeking specific UX insights
• Comprehensive documentation such as research reports, insights, recordings, transcriptions, and raw session notes

Such a system simplifies access to critical information, allowing team members to engage with, contribute to, and leverage research findings. This encourages a deeper sense of participation and ownership.

It's important to note what should not be included in the repository. UX data analyses often require specialized tools and are usually not stored directly within the repository but linked to it. Similarly, databases for recruiting participants are maintained separately to ensure clarity and focus.^[1]
