Flows & Paper Prototypes
Some examples

- Scissors
- Stickies
- Pen/Pencil
- POP
Exercise
- Organize into your teams
- Using your User Personas, User Stories and or Jobs, pick an example user and identify a specific task they need to be able to accomplish using your solution
- Create a flow for the task by a list of steps that user will need to take to complete the task – be sure to include an entry point and final goal for the task
- Create a set of drawings on paper that represent these interactions; these could be screens, or text messages, or voice menus, etc
- Be sure to include descriptions of the specific content that will need to be present (just a description at the moment, you’ll need to develop the actual content later)
Assignment
Midterm Papers
If you didn’t submit your midterm paper this week, complete it and submit it no later than Wednesday, March 23rd at 11:59 pm in Canvas.
Reading
Paper Prototypes
- Meet with your team and continue developing your paper prototypes
- Based on the reading, and using your User Personas, User Stories and/or Jobs, pick two additional example users (for three total, including the one you developed in class) and identify specific tasks they need to be able to accomplish for your solution
- Create flows for each by writing lists of steps they’ll need to take to complete the tasks – be sure to include entry points and goals
- Create a set of drawings on paper that represent their interactions; these could be screens, or text messages, or voice menus, etc
- Be sure to include descriptions of the specific content that will need to be present (just a description at the moment, you’ll need to develop the actual content later)
Design Notebooks
- Create a new slide in your Design Notebooks and title it “Flows & Paper Prototypes”
- Write a paragraph defining what flows are and why you should use them to describe what your system needs to do.
- Include links to the flows and paper prototype images your team created for your project
*Submit the link to your Design Notebook to Canvas before we meet again next week
