Do I need NVivo?
No. Plenty of good qualitative work is done in spreadsheets or on paper, and software does not make an analysis rigorous. NVivo helps most with large datasets, team coding and producing an audit trail, and it costs time to learn. We can advise either way and work in whichever you choose.
This comes up on Qualitative Data Analysis Support, where it is answered in the context of the work itself.
