Goal: Display a user’s friends’ location on a map in an easy-to-use manner while respecting privacy for both sides of a friendship.
Sounds simple – select my friends and show me where they are on the map. So I started there. I continued to peel back more layers of security and communication that needed to be designed into the experience and ultimately the UI. With each pass I drew a new UI on an iPhone template. After I was convinced I had them all, I put together the UX flow poster below. Once it was put together and I could visualize the entire experience, a few more tweaks needed to be added.
The finished diagram was photographed, each numbered screen had user stories created, and I sent the entire package to my developers to begin project estimation. The next phase was to move this paper mock into an editable digital file that we can keep current as we go through iOS development and subsequently deliver an up-to-date blueprint to the Android team after iOS development is complete. I left this in the capable hands of my development team.
