Questions (not part of survey)
Some questions to discuss:
- Will we get useful information back from a question whether they
prefer an in-depth treatment of an important topic or coverage of a broad range
of topics? - We could split the survey into 2 (like an A/B test) and randomly
select which a person gets or run one for a period and then switch to the
other. - For a selection of people, we could provide the single-topic
list’s choices with the option to add one.

These questions are incredibly granular, especially the “what topics interest you?” one. Can we cluster related topics together so the user isn’t overwhelmed by the options?
Alex Sirota 8:43 pm on August 11, 2018 Permalink |
Agreed. Maybe general categories like
Business
Design and usability
Content marketing
Implementation / Development
Marketing
I think at a high level you could organize much of what is covered at wordcamp under those 5 major groups with 2-3 major sub ideas under each.
