About Moderated Usability Testing Template
The Moderated Usability Testing Template helps you guide people to express their implicit ideas about a design, providing valuable insights into its strengths and weaknesses and the underlying reasons for them.
This method allows a team to gain a deeper understanding of potential issues and to identify areas where improvements can be made. By conducting only six to nine of these tests, a team can uncover as much as 80% of the design issues, making it a highly efficient and cost-effective approach for enhancing a potential solution's overall efficiency, effectiveness, and satisfaction.
Benefits of using the template
Disclose inner thoughts.
Enhance understanding of others.
Discover chances for progress.
Minimize costs by early revelation.
How to use the template in Miro
Provide an introduction and explain the purpose. Seek permission to record.
Encourage participants to verbalize their thoughts. Assure them that this is not a test.
Ask participants to complete tasks individually. Document their progress.
Conclude with a final inquiry or comments. Express gratitude.
If there is an audio recording, transcribe the notes or upload a pre-existing transcript.
Setup
Find out what you will be testing and a few important tasks.
Ask six to nine people to participate and arrange a testing session with each person.
Useful tips
Postpone any immediate inquiries until the completion of the test.
Refrain from giving a demonstration and instead imitate functionality if the design is not yet finalized.

Co-Creation Template
Works best for:
Design
The Co-Creation Template enables the visual expression of ideas using essential elements. Analysis of these creations identifies explicit and implicit needs. For instance, a human resources team may use symbols to envision their ideal work environment. The output reflects people's desires and expectations.
Service Blueprint by Hyperact
Works best for:
Research & Design
The Service Blueprint template is perfect for visualizing the orchestration of service components. It maps out frontstage and backstage elements, helping you analyze and enhance customer experiences. Use this template to align teams, identify pain points, and streamline processes, ensuring a seamless service delivery. It's ideal for creating a shared understanding of service dynamics among stakeholders and collaborators.
Storyboarding Template
The Storyboarding Template is an excellent way to visualize how people will experience your concept in action. It primarily consists of images, which enable teams to communicate ideas with greater clarity and emotional impact than words alone. You don't need exceptional artistic skill to create storyboards; you simply need to depict a meaningful sequence of events.
Mind Map Template
Works best for:
Design
Based on Joseph Novak's innovation, Concept Mapping, this template helps to organize ideas and demonstrate a comprehensive understanding of a subject. It visually arranges all the details about a topic, which fosters shared understanding. This technique is particularly useful when explaining different facets or related topics.
Collaborative Prototyping Template
Rapid prototyping quickly tests concepts and solutions with low-fidelity functional models, reducing investments by identifying issues early. The Collaborative Prototyping Template generates ideas and tests them with a framework for sharing prototypes and getting feedback.
Crazy Eights Template
Works best for:
Design Thinking, Brainstorming, Ideation
Sometimes you just need to get the team’s creative juices flowing for a brainstorm—and get them thinking of as many ideas as they can, as fast as they can. Crazy Eights will do it in a hurry. Favoring quantity over quality, this sketch brainstorming exercise challenges them to come up with eight ideas in eight minutes, which leaves no time to second guess ideas. It’s perfect for early stages of development, and it’s a team favorite for being fast paced and fun.
