10.1 Journey Stages

Journey Stages is a UI/UX design skill that helps make products easier to understand, use, test, and improve. The method should be tied to a real user problem instead of decoration alone.

Step by step

  2. Collect evidence before jumping to a polished solution.
  3. Create the smallest flow, sketch, wireframe, prototype, or test needed to answer the question.
  4. Test the design with realistic content, states, and device constraints.
  5. Record what you learned and change the design based on evidence rather than preference.

10 practical examples

  1. Apply Journey Stages to a course website and explain the decision you made.
  2. Apply Journey Stages to a online store and explain the decision you made.
  3. Apply Journey Stages to a banking app and explain the decision you made.

Hands-on example

UI/UX PRACTICE
Problem: A user struggles with Journey Stages.
