As a qualitative researhcer I use various tools depending on the different stages of my research and project. For instance, in the discovery phase, where it involves more research and conducting interview or observation if I'm working on a series of remote interviews I use zoom or teams to record the interview session, and after finishing the interviews I use tools such as Dovetail , Nvivo, Atlas.ti, and Maxqda to transcribe and analyze the data and find the emerging themes. Meanwhile for extracting the teams techniques such as affinity diagramming and empathy maps are super helpful, and can help with generating the personas or journey maps that are useful tools for communicating the research findings and next steps.
