- [ ] Be present in the meeting room 10 minutes before. Wait 15 minutes if participant is late.
- [ ] Have Slack ready in the background. Note-takers, if you think of questions to ask the participant, send them in Slack to the facilitator.
### During the session
- [ ] Record the call
- [ ] Remain neutral – you are there to listen and watch. Do not jump in and help participants immediately and do not lead the participant. Facilitators: If the participant asks a question, reply with “What do you think?” or “I am interested in what you would do.” If the participant gives up and asks for help, you must decide whether to end the scenario, give a hint, or give more substantial help.
- [ ] Update [recruiting spreadsheet](https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1wrx3dQXbti8kHvRdQFHuarW34DVnj0LNBs5nr3HDfBg/edit#gid=0) when session is done
- [ ] Upload recording to [Google Drive](https://drive.google.com/drive/u/0/folders/1XmT-fMEY5L82acY3aQC98v7misBPmDXb), under the folder for the FF page that was tested

### Analysis
- [ ] Read [article on analyzing usability tests](https://www.usability.gov/how-to-and-tools/methods/reporting-usability-test-results.html)
- [ ] Watch the recording and observe participant behavior
- [ ] If the plan laid out quant metrics, use a spreadsheet to calculate the metrics. If the plan laid out qual metrics, use Figma to record observations.
- [ ] List problems and classify them as **critical** (If we do not fix this, users will not be able to complete the scenario), **serious** (many users will be frustrated if we do not fix this; they may give up) or **minor** (users are annoyed, but this does not keep them from completing the scenario)
- [ ] Revisit analysis findings as more people participate in the usability test
