user needs
What people want
User needs are the requirements, goals, or problems that someone brings to a product, service, or system.
The term dominates design and technology contexts, where understanding user needs drives development: We conducted interviews to identify user needs before building the prototype.
User needs range from functional requirements to emotional desires—what users want to accomplish and how they want to feel doing it.
