bookUnderstanding User Needs

Having explored these concepts through our video, let's now distill the key points in a concise summary:

How to understand user needs?

🔍 User Research: begins with semi-structured interviews and surveys to dive into what users want and need, mixing direct questions with open discussions for deep insights;

🗣️ Interviews: offer flexibility to explore users' thoughts and feelings, using both quantitative and qualitative questions to uncover a comprehensive view of user needs;

📊 Surveys: provide broad insights through multiple choice and open-ended questions, capturing both specific user preferences and detailed feedback.

Applying these insights into design transforms user interfaces into intuitive and accessible experiences, ensuring they resonate with user needs. This approach underpins every aspect of design, from layout to functionality, making products more user-friendly and engaging.
