Just Enough Research by Erika Hall
4.0
It's detailed about the full process and the common methodologies used throughout the process of gathering user input for a project.
It didn't have what I thought it would based on discussions with colleagues (onboarding administration), but it has what one would expect it to have based on the title (research techniques).
And frankly, "just enough research" is a TON of research. I cannot say I've ever done this amount of research for a project, and I'm not sure if that's a reflection of my work or a reflection of how intense the suggested process in this book is. Perhaps the next substantial project will attempt to utilize all the tools Hall recommends. I have a feeling that onboarding my administrators to investing that many resources could result in an extensive chapter on said topic in a second edition of this book...
