User Experience Mapping
Why should every mobile app start with one?
How do wechange the world?
User-centric MobileApp Developmentin a TEAM = communication
the requirements document is a terrible idea
1. Dysfunctional communication, lack of collaboration and understanding. The emphasis is often put on negotiation.
2. The requirements documents are intimidating.
3. Documents usually don’t break down projects into tiny functionality bits, and some functionality can be lost among thousands of lines of text.
4. Such document places our process above people.
5. Rigid documentations and plan-following mindsets will make responding to change very hard.
6.Even the best ideas will need continuous improvement, to stay competitive.
7.People want to work on making the world better, not spend time creating or understanding a long documentation.
Most problems can and will be solved with improved communication.
The goal is to achieve
shared understanding. The best communication method for shared understanding is
drawing a map.
Your map should be based on real user research.
