Map the User Journey: Design for Seamless Experiences
It’s important to evaluate the customer’s use process during concept development.
Rather than focusing solely on what your product does, understanding how users will interact with it creates opportunities to design more intuitive, enjoyable experiences. By mapping out the steps users take from beginning to end using process flowcharts, development teams gain clarity on inputs, outputs, and the journey between them.
Whether you need to simplify complex steps, compare competitor approaches, or identify critical-to-quality elements, these analytical methods help prioritize design decisions based on what truly matters to users.
The goal is creating products that feel intuitive and natural, preventing those awkward validation testing moments when engineers want to shout, “You’re doing it wrong!” When we evaluate the use process early, we develop products others love while minimizing costly redesigns and user frustration.
