To include[edit]

Nice start. The article needs some sources and cross references. Karen and Hugh's book and Ethnography would be a good. References to this article from strongly related ones too. --Ronz 15:59, 8 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Contextual Inquiry is a widely practiced process. The process includes developing questionnaires, conducting interviews, developing Persona's, Affinity diagrams and finally recommending solutions to the problem being studied.

There must be a counterpart in other fields like ethnography[edit]

I understand that contextual inquiry (CI) *is* an ethnographic tool, but it's an ethnographich tool specifically within UCD. Or put even more simple, it is a tool for design. The procedure described is very simple and clear-cut. And it's obvious. Obvious in the sense that it has to be used in a lot of contexts and fields. Not just design. I'm sure ethnographs use it as well. But they call must call it something else. What do they call it? I need to know this, so I can go and read more and learn more.
