Helps to see it from the user point of view? Helps?

***, it's essential, guys.

This is one of the things that I loathe about my current role as a technical architect. I sit in an office full of geeky nerdish guys, where we discuss/rant about the relative merits of Websphere, WebLogic, .Net et al. And we approach everything from the terms of technology.

No one ever stops to look at anything from the point of our customers. (Or if they do, its in terms of installations, response times, etc., never old fashioned stuff like usability).

Oooh! You've touched a nerve here! Sorry!
