Each session will take place even if only one person is registered (except in cases of force majeure).
Description
Before designing a solution, it is essential to understand the real needs of those for whom it is intended.
However, too often, digital projects are launched based on vague assumptions or poorly formulated requirements.
The Understanding User Needs training course teaches you how to observe, question, analyse and structure user expectations in a rigorous and actionable way, to ensure that projects are focused on user value.
Format
Remote (recorded sessions).
GOOD TO KNOW
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.
