Define
We work together to define the project’s high-level scope by breaking down the business requirements into a user flow diagram and the product backlog. Based on the user stories, we design interactive low-fidelity mockups for usability testing with prospective customers to evaluate and refine the scope.
Outcomes
User stories
Backlog consisting of short requirements written from the users’ perspective
Feedback from users
Evaluate together with prospective users using interactive prototypes
User interface guidelines
High-fidelity prototypes and design assets for front-end development

Delivery velocity
A great definition of scope guides the team’s direction through clarity and focus
Core activities
User flow diagram
Diagram that visualizes the path a user takes through an application to complete a task.
High-level product backlog
A prioritized list of work for the development team that is derived from the roadmap and its requirements.
Low-fidelity mockups
Wireframes that include the most basic content and visuals and are either static or interactive.
Usability testing
Testing method used to find out how potential users perceive and use the product based on observations.
Design system
High-fidelity prototypes that are interactive and contain most of the necessary design assets; UI library components for designers and UI elements in code for developers.
