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.

By the end, each participant will be able to :
Essential training for project managers, UX designers, business analysts, product managers, and business analysts.
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.
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.
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.
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.
