process

In the discussion phase we had already collected user’s needs in various perspectives. For each group of stakeholders, identified what they are trying to do with the product, why they needed it and what their responsibilities might be to other stakeholders. Now in this step it is crucial to come up with the solution to those needs. The team members now think out of the box and start to visualize the end product broadly. Based on the information gathered and analysis report, team start to do task analysis, information architecture analysis and workflow analysis.

In task analysis we create task list and user-task matrix. In information architecture analysis we prepare content list, content-user matrix and hierarchy, web relationships. Under workflow analysis we come up with workflows and scenarios.

With all above preparation we start to shape all information with the end product in our mind.  By this phase the team members know their role and purpose and start to brainstorm to deliver the best outcome. For each idea, perceptions, assumptions we create storyboards, wireframes, paper notes, screenflow samples, paper prototypes etc. We try to come up with as much alternatives as we can so that we can pick the best from those ideas.
