1. Introductory

• Tell me about your subteam fits within Midnight Sun

• Tell me about your role within your subteam

• Have you ever been in an actual race before?

• Have you used telemetry dashboards before in the past? Dashboards for visualizing complex data in general? 

  • What were you using them for?

  • How well did you feel you were able to use them? (“overwhelming, hated every second of it”; or “very easy to read data”)

  • Can you tell me the software/brand/app/website the dashboard was from?

    • Could be useful to run quick competitive analysis of them

2. Data prioritization

• Two card sorting exercises: give them all the data points as cards in Miro, and ask them to sort the cards 

• Overview of card sorting: Card sorting: your complete guide

• Exercise 1: categorize the data by importance

  • Closed card sort. Categories centered around ranking importance (ie “this is mission-critical” to “I would never check this”)

  • Gets participants warmed up to doing card sorts — closed/ranking style card sort will be easier on them

  • Ask them to explain why they ranked the data in the way that they did

• Exercise 2: categorize the data by task

  • For example: these are the data points I would check to do xyz task

  • Open card sort. Allow participants to duplicate cards and place them in multiple categories. Participants should come up with their own categories.

  • Ask them to explain the tasks

  • I’m not sure how successful/comfortable the participant will be with this
    
    

• I expect this exercise to take up a good chunk of the interview

3. Process involved in performing tasks

• What do you expect to use the telemetry dashboard for during the actual race?

  • Can you give me an overview of the tasks you and your subteam would be doing? 

    • would also get this from the task-based card sort

  • What data would you need for each of those tasks? 

    • again, would get this from the task-based card sort

  • Are these tasks time-sensitive?

• Do you or your subteam need to deal with visualizing large sets of data in your MidSun work? 

  • What do you currently use for that?

4. Stakeholder stuff

• Can you tell me what you know about this telemetry dashboard project?

• What do you expect it to be? I know you probably don’t know much about this project, so please conjecture

• What would you want it to be? What’s some magical feature you wish it could have?

5. IRL race experience, if they have any

• Steal from MSXII interview guide :)
