How to UX

Known Unknowns

I was thinking about a project I wanted to work on as a portfolio piece. I wanted to do all the “right things” to show off my abilities across the board, from design to development. Gathering requirements is something I haven’t done in an “official way” in a while, and I wasn’t quite sure what the kids were doing these days.

UX for the Masses has a nice list of UX documents. It turns out I’ve used most of these in one fashion or another over the years, so I’m not as out of fashion as I thought.

Having a sample of all the documents one might use in determining the scope of a project is great, but there isn’t any organization to the list. Where do I start? Which documents are better when created after a different one?

Luckily, I stumbled across an image on Pinterest that outlines the design process and lists the documents to use along the way.

Perhaps you might find these UX documents and a process to follow useful as well.
