Question 1 of 5
Contextual Inquiry & Field Studies
A researcher is planning a contextual inquiry study to redesign an enterprise inventory management tool. She recruits 12 participants — 6 warehouse pickers and 6 inventory managers — and plans to run all sessions together as a single sample. What is the most significant methodological flaw in this approach?
12 participants is too large a sample for any qualitative field study; the correct maximum is 5
The two roles likely have distinct workflows, mental models, and breakdowns, so they should be treated as separate recruiting pools analyzed independently before any cross-role comparison
Contextual inquiry cannot be used with enterprise software; it is designed only for consumer-facing products
The researcher should use surveys instead of field observation when studying distinct user roles
