Stop Listening and Start Watching If You Want To Understand User Needs

People often don't know what they want or need or they can't articulate it in a way that's useful to you. They may say I want Google or Dropbox for the enterprise, but they don't get that developers can be so much more creative than that. And the best way to understand those users' needs is to watch what they do, then use your own skills to build apps to make their working lives better or easier." http://a.fsdn.com/sd/twitter_icon_large.png (http://twitter.com/home?status=Stop+Listening+and+Start+Watching+If+Y ou+Want+To+Understand+User+Needs%3A+http%3A%2F%2Fb it.ly%2F17PfPAQ) http://a.fsdn.com/sd/facebook_icon_large.png (http://www.facebook.com/sharer.php?u=http%3A%2F%2Fdevelopers.slashdot.org% 2Fstory%2F13%2F11%2F11%2F1517239%2Fstop-listening-and-start-watching-if-you-want-to-understand-user-needs%3Futm_source%3Dslashdot%26utm_medium%3Dfaceb ook) http://www.gstatic.com/images/icons/gplus-16.png (http://plus.google.com/share?url=http://developers.slashdot.org/story/13/11/11/1517239/stop-listening-and-start-watching-if-you-want-to-understand-user-needs?utm_source=slashdot&utm_medium=googleplus)
