User research interview guide

Design a comprehensive user research interview protocol. Structure: 1. Introduction and rapport building (5 min). 2. Background questions (user context, current workflow). 3. Behavioral questions (tell me about a time...). 4. Pain point exploration (what frustrates you?). 5. Solution validation (prototype feedback). 6. Wrap-up and thank you. Use open-ended questions. Avoid leading questions. Practice active listening. Record with permission. Aim for 30-45 min interviews. Synthesize findings into insights and themes.
