What is User Flow?
User Flow is a visual representation of the steps a user takes to complete a specific task or goal within a product. It outlines the sequence of interactions, decisions, and screens involved in the user journey, helping designers and developers understand and optimize the user experience.
Key elements of user flow include:
- Starting Point: The initial screen or action where the user begins their journey.
- Steps: The sequence of actions, screens, or decisions the user makes to achieve their goal.
- Decision Points: Points where the user makes choices that affect the flow, such as selecting options or navigating to different screens.
- End Points: The final outcome or result of the user’s journey, such as completing a purchase or submitting a form.
User flows help in designing intuitive and efficient user journeys, identifying potential issues, and improving the overall usability of the product.
