I am blind without my glasses

As far as we have learned in all our classes, we should always think of our clients need and uses. But after we get the requirements, a war starts due to the fact that everyone wants to set their point or perspective as the most important one.

As we have learned from this case, there is no wrong perspective, but a blindfold one. We tend to seek out what we know and to think that this will be the right answer,  because that is what our story and our world works, but there are many other options. 

In this case, I can relate this case to what we live everyday on our classes, where we need to create teams with our classmates. Normally we create these teams with our friends even though they have got the same perspective  and abilities as us. This case becomes a problem because when we need to understand what the client needs and desires we can only see one way of it, when there are many others. We need to think in our users, that could be our friend  or a stranger in another country.

Nowadays technology and people are together in a daily basis, and anyone can use what we  create or think. We can create something wonderful, but if it restricted to an specific profile due to our fault, it will not get to anywhere.

This idea was a problem to a major company such as Microsoft, where they created and operating system but without an easy interface to connect, idea that apple was developing. This problem generate a big repercussion in their sales due to the fact that their equipment was limited.  After they learned this lesson, they understood that not only computer geeks will use their systems, and that they need a diverse team to create something for everyone.

There are many other examples as this one, and the main problem was the lack of diversity of the team. We tend to think that the way we see the world is correct, but what other's think about it will make the difference.  We need to understand that as developers there are many profiles we can follow, understand and develop to completely stay on track of what we want, but we need to consider that there will be other four guys that will see the things differently and what they see, that we can't will create something marvellous and useful for more than one group.
