A usability test revealed that a specific feature was difficult to use, but the product owner believes the feature is intuitive and does not want to change it. The usability team must present the findings to convince the product owner. Which approach is most likely to be effective?

State the findings as an opinion and ask the product owner to trust the team's expertise.

Present only the qualitative quotes from participants, without any quantitative data.

Avoid presenting the issue to avoid conflict with the product owner.

Present a video clip of a participant struggling with the feature, along with the success rate and time-on-task data.

A usability team conducted 15 sessions for a complex software product. The findings are extensive, with many minor issues and a few severe ones. The team must synthesize the data to identify the most critical patterns. They have limited time before the report deadline. Which approach is most efficient and effective?

Ask the development team to decide which issues are most important without reviewing the data.

Use a combination of affinity diagramming and severity ratings to group issues and prioritize them.

Write a separate report for each participant to avoid missing any detail.

Focus only on the issues that were mentioned by the most participants, ignoring severity.
