Planning

Planning service
Yes
How the planning service works
Web Usability works closely with the client project manager throughout a project to ensure that the process and outcomes meet, or exceed, the client requirements; this enables Web Usability to keep the project manager advised of progress against plan and to be responsive to the project manager’s requirements if these change through the project.
We tailor every project to the client’s needs and allocate resources accordingly; this would normally involve one of our directors, at least one of our user experience consultants and our recruitment manager. There will be a dedicated project manager. We work collaboratively with all our clients involving you in understanding the insight and co-creating outcomes for cloud-based digital services. All Web Usability consultants are experienced at managing projects from inception through to the project completion. Contacts are by email, telephone and face to face meetings as required. We follow the Government Service Manual.
At the start of the project Web Usability would hold a meeting with the client project manager to confirm:
• The objectives and desired outcomes of the project
• The research methodology
• The project timescales and milestones
• The respondent/tester profiles and numbers, and recruitment screener
• Inputs required from the client

How the quality assurance and performance testing works
We operate strict internal quality procedures in accordance with ISO20252:2019. We undertake all research activities in accordance with the Market Research Society (MRS) Code of Conduct and the User Experience Professionals Association (UXPA) code of conduct. We are DPA and GDPR compliant.
In order to ensure high quality work a Web Usability director independently reviews all elements of work undertaken by other staff or directors. Such reviews assess the quality of data collection (including sources and methodology), the quality and rigour of data analysis, the quality and relevance of external data used to inform and contextualise the analysis, the quality of any conclusions and recommendations, and how well the project outputs and outcomes meet the project brief and enable the client to proceed appropriately.
