Before you can judge whether your final interface succeeded, you have to revisit where it started. The analysis phase is the stretch of work that happens before any screens are drawn: talking to users, observing how they currently accomplish their goals, breaking those goals into tasks, and translating all of it into a set of requirements with a realistic scope. Decisions made here quietly determine almost everything that follows — which features exist, which users are served well, and which usability problems were avoidable from the beginning.
In this module you are reflecting rather than starting fresh, so the purpose of reviewing analysis is diagnostic. Which research method did you choose, and did it actually surface the information you needed? Did your task analysis capture real workflows, or an idealized version of them? Were your requirements specific enough to test against later, and did scope creep or scope gaps show up in the final evaluation? These questions give you the evidence you will need when you defend design decisions and propose improvements.
The three videos below revisit the fundamentals of qualitative user research, the overall shape of the UX process, and the range of research methods available. As you watch, resist treating them as introductory review. Instead, compare each practice described to what you actually did on your project, and note specific gaps you can name and explain in your reflection.
