Background information with general insights into what you already know, why you’re conducting the study, and what the problem is
The objective of your research and what you’re trying to accomplish
Research questions, both primary and secondary, to guide your experiment
The participants and recruitment methods to bring together a relevant, unbiased sample group
Your budget and timeline to plan around any logistical constraints
Intended results, describing what you hope to or anticipate finding

Begin by gathering your team, downloading a shareable FigJam sample research plan, and brainstorming to figure out the issues you’re trying to understand and solve. With that information, you can narrow down your team’s top suggestions to one concrete objective. Then, decide on a few select research questions that will help you achieve your research goal.
As with any good scientific process, you’ll want to thoroughly interrogate and refine your questions using insight from your entire group, until you’re confident in your main question and research method. Don’t be afraid to solicit feedback, leave comments or suggestions, and move questions around—the flexibility is part of what makes FigJam’s market research plan template so valuable to any experiment.
