Object Modeling & Flow Diagramming for Designers: Methods for Designing with Ease and Confidence

Object Modeling & Flow Diagramming for Designers explains how to use these complementary methods to create designs that better meet users’ needs and scale more effectively over time. An object model depicts a system from the structural perspective: as a set of objects, actions, and relationships. The structural perspective is likely less familiar to designers than the task perspective (as reflected in storyboards, journey maps, user stories) but is no less valuable. The structural perspective forces thinking outside of current solutions and has a natural affinity with higher-level constructs in a design system. It also provides the foundation for an effective and consistent system vocabulary. Flow diagrams illustrate the experience from a task perspective, including the all-important alternative paths users may take to achieve a goal. Strong flow diagramming skills, including the ability to use standard flow diagramming conventions, are critical for designers to work through design problems and communicate design intent to others. Throughout, this book provides plenty of real-world examples and shows how these two perspectives—structure and flow—work together in the design process. All examples are also available on the book’s companion website www.objectmodelingfordesigners.com.
