User focus and perspective.
The lecture from this competency seemed full of information which was logical to me when I thought about this competency. But when we got the assignment and had to come in contact with users or experts it proved my first impression was not completely correct. Normally I would prepare a full list of questions for the person I was going to interview and we did tried this on time. However this only resulted in superficial answers which we did not really found useful, because this only answered the given questions and did not apply to our main goal. After the lecture and the assignment we prepared for another interview, with only a few goals of things we wanted to know. This time we got much more useful information, the conversation elaborated on our subject. We also got forced to get in touch with users in an early stage of our project through the assignment which helped as get more familiar with the need of the users and what might appeal to them more.
