Flowcharts

In today's digital age, creating a great user experience is critical for the success of any type of product or service. Adopting a user-centric approach that factors in the needs, wants, and behaviors of your target audience is a great way to achieve this. One powerful method to achieve this is by using flowcharts prior to designing the user interface.

What is a flowchart?

A flowchart is a visual map of how users will navigate through your product or service. It is an essential tool for designing a user interface that is intuitive and easy to use. By using flowcharts, you can create a well-structured user flow, which is crucial for a smooth and seamless user experience.

Flowcharts help you visualize how users will interact with your product or service. They provide a clear overview of the user journey and help you identify potential pain points and areas for improvement. By using flowcharts to map out the user flow, you can ensure that your product or service is easy to use, regardless of the user's level of experience.

Another benefit of using flowcharts is that they save you time and effort. By creating a visual representation of the user flow before you start designing the user interface, you can avoid costly design changes down the line. This is especially important for complex products or services, where making changes to the user interface can be time-consuming and expensive.

How do I create a flowchart?

We recommend using Figma's tool Figjam to create flowcharts.

FigJam is a collaborative whiteboard platform that comes with Figma, which means you don't have to install anything new. With FigJam, you can collaborate with your team in real-time, obtain feedback, and incorporate suggestions as you progress. You can also link the flowchart to other Figma files, such as wireframes or mockups, to ensure a cohesive design process.
