Workflow Map
Workflow provides a shared context for perspectives (customer, administrator, business).
It leads to a discussion of needs, tasks, goals - which lead to taxonomy.
And a glossary of terms - because everybody doesn't use the same words in the same way.
Identify the "WHAT"
The interaction process should be visually obvious through the design of the interface:
Goal
You should have some sense
of the total task.
Steps
You should know how
many steps are involved.
Status
You should know where
you are in the process.
Mandatory
You should know what
is required.
Confirmation
You should know when you have
completed a step.
Position
You should end up at an appropriate
spot.
Correction
You should be able to undo
your actions.
Define and reflect the Workflow appropriately.
