Exploring Lyssna as a research platform?

Or already signed up and ready to start running studies with confidence?

**In this live, hands-on workshop, you'll learn how to launch research in Lyssna with confidence and momentum.**

We’ll walk through how to go from a real research question to a launched study using Lyssna. This session is designed for people who are new to Lyssna, actively exploring it, or looking for a clear, practical way to get research off the ground without overcomplicating the process.

This is **not a product tour or a passive demo**.

Instead, we’ll work through a concrete research challenge together and build a study live, showing how Lyssna’s tools fit into an efficient, end-to-end research workflow.

Whether you’re a product designer trying to move quickly, a researcher getting oriented in a new tool, or someone evaluating Lyssna as a research platform, this session will help you understand how to use Lyssna to actually answer real questions and move work forward.

Get started with Lyssna

# *“How many people should we include in this study?”*

It’s one of the most common (and most debated) questions in UX research. And the honest answer most of us give is also the least satisfying one: *it depends*.

Sample size decisions are influenced by many factors - statistical significance, confidence levels, margins of error, timelines, resources, and the type of study you’re running. You’ll hear advice ranging from “5 users is enough” to “you need hundreds for reliable results,” which often leaves teams second-guessing their decisions.

The good news is that while there’s no one-size-fits-all answer, there *is* a clear, practical process for choosing a sample size that fits your goals and helps you make confident decisions.

***

### About this event

In this workshop, we’ll break down how to determine the right sample size for your UX research studies without overcomplicating things or relying on guesswork.

You’ll learn when smaller sample sizes are appropriate, when larger ones are necessary, and how to explain and defend your choices to stakeholders. We’ll focus on practical decision-making, not academic theory, so you leave with a repeatable framework you can use in your day-to-day work.

We’ll also use Lyssna’s sample size calculator to walk through real examples and help you quickly determine the right number of participants for different study types and scenarios.

***

### What you’ll learn

✔ Common approaches to determining sample size, including when statistical significance matters and when it doesn’t.

✔ How sample size differs for qualitative vs quantitative research.

✔ How to balance speed, confidence, and reliability in your research results.

✔ How to clearly explain and justify your sample size decisions to stakeholders.

✔ A practical decision framework you can reuse for future studies.

***

### What we’ll do

✔ Break down common misconceptions about sample size in UX research.

✔ Walk through real examples of different study types and use cases.

✔ Use Lyssna’s sample size calculator to determine sample sizes based on study goals, timelines, and confidence needs

✔ Practice choosing a sample size and articulating the reasoning behind it.

***

### Who should attend?

This workshop is ideal for UX designers, researchers, product designers, marketers, and anyone who runs or contributes to user research and wants to make confident, defensible decisions about sample size.

Sample size confidence: Know exactly how many research participants you need (and why)

***Many research studies look rigorous on the surface but still fail to support confident decision making.***

You run the study. You get the results. And then you’re left staring at averages like **3.5 out of 5**, with no clear sense of what to do next.

This often happens when studies are built around overly safe, vague, or bloated questions - sometimes out of habit, sometimes out of fear of uncovering uncomfortable truths, and often due to stakeholder pressure to “keep it neutral.”

The result? Research that feels safe, but doesn’t drive action.

***

### About this event

In this workshop, we’ll focus on one of the most common reasons research fails to influence decisions: **poor question design that leads to ambiguous results**.

You’ll learn how vague questions and broad rating scales create false comfort while masking clear signals. More importantly, you’ll learn how to design studies that surface decisive insights – even when the results are uncomfortable.

This session is practical, opinionated, and hands-on. We won’t just talk about better research – we’ll fix a real study together and see how clearer questions lead to stronger outcomes.

***

### What you’ll learn

✔ Why “safe” research questions often produce unclear or unusable results.

✔ Common patterns that lead to wishy-washy findings (and how to avoid them).

✔ How to design questions that force clearer signals and sharper insights.

✔ How to balance rigor with decisiveness in your research studies.

✔ How to create results that teams feel confident acting on.

***

### What we’ll do

✔ Review a real example of a vague, bloated study and its results.

✔ Ask the hard question: *“Would you feel confident making a major product decision based on this?”*

✔ Rewrite the study live with clearer, more decisive questions.

✔ Compare the original results with the revised version to see how clarity changes outcomes.

✔ Discuss how to apply this approach to your own research moving forward.

***

### Who should attend?

This workshop is ideal for UX designers, researchers, product designers, and anyone who runs or relies on user research to make decisions – especially if you’ve ever struggled to turn research results into clear next steps.
