Before you begin the interview, you first need to do some preparation. The first task is around triage - to assemble a prioritised list of questions, which most likely come from your playtest observations, but could come from other sources, e.g. other members of the team, marketing, a client. The reason for prioritising is so that if you run out of time, at least you have responses to the most important questions.

Before interviewing the player, be aware of what your most important questions are to explore. This is to ensure that if you run out of time at least you have covered the key questions.
