| Features | Benefits |
|---|---|
| Designing of a primary navigational framework and a set of primary application windows. | Users get the information they need quickly and efficiently, without frustration. |
| If needed, reengineering of the workflow to fit the users' conceptual model of the application. | The purpose of the application is immediately clear, and window thrashing is eliminated. |
| Amending the structure's visual presentation. | New customers react with a positive initial impression, and repeated customers find a clean, uncluttered look. |
| Preparing for subsequent usability testing and detailed design efforts. | Provides an extensible basis for future development. |
Deliverables include:
The user interface structure must function in accordance with the user's conceptual model of the application. Testing high-level prototypes of the primary and a few secondary windows with the users gives a clear indication of how the application will fare. If needed, you can stop now and rework the exemplars – get it right before you've lost a lot of development time."
