A focus group is a moderator-lead discussion with a group of 5-12 participants. The moderator follows a discussion guide that includes questions, tasks or exercises for the group. Focus groups are good for obtaining feedback on concepts, strategies, or prototypes when observation of tasks and experiences is not needed.
Data is gathered through group discussion, completion of participant questionnaires (optional) and video capture of the discussion and any images provided for review.
