This training course includes numerous exercises (60% practical) to enhance learning. Each session will take place even if only one person is registered (except in cases of force majeure). A preliminary interview is held between the participant and/or a company representative in order to fully assess the participant’s profile (level, needs, professional context, challenges, etc.).
Assessment : during the training course, the trainer assesses the participants’ progress through multiple-choice questions, role-playing exercises and practical work. Participants receive a certificate of completion at the end of the training course.

This training course is part of our Development Training Courses. Explore our other development trainings to design modern, performant and maintainable applications.

Objectives of the training: Understanding User Needs Training Course – From Observation to Action Project
objectives of this Understanding User Needs Training Course

By the end, each participant will be able to :

  • Mastering the various methods of gathering requirements (interviews, observations, workshops, questionnaires)
  • Distinguish between real, expressed, implicit and latent requirements
  • Build relevant analysis grids and personas
  • Formalise requirements in the form of user stories, use cases or journeys
  • Prioritise requirements and translate them into specifications or backlog items
  • Integrate this approach into an Agile, UX or user-centred design project cycle
Prerequisites of the training: Understanding User Needs Training Course – From Observation to Action Project
Prerequisites for the Understanding User Needs Training Course
  • Participate in digital or organisational projects
  • Be in contact with end users or customers
  • No technical prerequisites, functional and methodological approach
  • Because each participant has a unique background and expectations, a preliminary interview with our expert allows us to precisely identify their objectives, level and professional challenges.
    This enables us to tailor the training content to ensure relevant and personalised learning.
Target audience of the training: Understanding User Needs Training Course – From Observation to Action Project

FAQ
How do you identify user needs?

Identifying user needs combines several techniques: stakeholder interviews, user observation and shadowing, surveys, journey mapping, contextual inquiry, and analysis of existing usage data. The goal is to capture explicit needs (what users say they want), implicit needs (what they actually do), and latent needs (what they would value if shown). MFE-IT trains business analysts and IT teams on the methods that produce reliable user requirements.

What is the difference between user needs and requirements?

User needs are the underlying problems, goals, or desires of users — what they ultimately want to accomplish. Requirements are the formal specifications a system must meet to address those needs — testable, traceable, often technical. Good requirements derive directly from validated user needs. The MFE-IT Understanding User Needs training covers the bridge from needs to requirements with concrete examples.

What is user-centered design?

User-centered design (UCD) is an approach that places end users and their needs at the heart of every design decision — through research, prototyping, usability testing, and iteration. It contrasts with technology-driven or stakeholder-driven design. UCD increases adoption and reduces rework. Through MFE-IT’s hands-on approach, learners apply UCD techniques to a realistic project scenario during the training.

How do you validate user needs?

Validating user needs requires triangulating multiple data sources: direct user feedback (interviews, prototype testing, surveys), behavioral analytics (usage data, A/B tests), expert review, and pilot deployments. A need confirmed by only one channel is fragile. Our MFE-IT training course on Understanding User Needs covers validation methods that resist confirmation bias and stakeholder pressure.
