User Flows are visual representations of the steps users take when interacting with a software application or system to achieve specific goals. They outline the path from the entry point through various interactions to completion.
Key Aspects:
- Step-by-Step Process: Clearly defined actions that lead users toward their objectives.
- Visual Mapping: Diagrams or flowcharts illustrating each step in the process.
- Focus on User Goals: Designed around what users want to accomplish.
User flows help designers identify potential bottlenecks, streamline processes and enhance overall usability by ensuring that navigation aligns with user expectations.
