User research can be a challenge when working in the public sector, dealing with regulations, red tape and long approval times. But that doesn't mean it's impossible to research or test your work with your users. Explore ways to recruit and options for testing when no one has money to spend, with real-world examples and clever workarounds that allow public sector researchers to get private sector results.

Working with users when doing usability testing or other user research involves some real skill. Experienced facilitators will tell you, though, that users are nothing compared to the people behind the glass or on the phone – your observers.
This presentation looks at tips and tricks you can use to make your relationship with your observers as productive, efficient, and positive as possible. These apply whether your observers are in the room with you, in an observation room next door, or on the phone.
