DEEP DIVE - TEMPLATE
GENERIC - this is a top-level page describing the steps. A more detailed drill-down (per Deep-Dive) should be more specific. It will contain the same section layout, but different content for each deep dive, so that I can cover more UX principles in depth.
1 - PROJECT GOALS
Figure out what you’re making…FPO
2 - UX RESEARCH
This is next, after defining the goals. We have to talk to users, etc…go through the whole spectrum of UX Research and how it works.
3 - USER JOURNEYS
User Journeys flow out in story format the experience of a User or Customer interacting with our solution to provide value.
4 - PERSONAS
Knowing the User Journeys that happen, let’s put a face on those Users: Personas let us dive deep into individual roles, goals & workflows.
5 - WORKFLOWS & SCENARIOS
This is the beginning or visual tools — allowing us to flow out our User Journeys into a structured experience.
6 - FLOORPLANS
Without understanding the Architecture, anything we build will have a shaky foundation.
7 - WHITEBOARDING PROCESS
Not sure whether this qualifies as its own process, but here you go: whiteboarding process.
8 - WIREFRAMES
A quick, low-cost way to prototype, test, and rapidly iterate on UX Interaction concepts.
9 - VISUAL EXPLORATION
Concept Sketches, Iconography, Typography, Color Palette, Style, Influences, etc.
10 - PROTOTYPES
Many technologies and platforms exist to showcase interactive prototypes.
