What is the Importance of User Flows in UX ?
The easiest way to understand UX is by asking this question to yourself as a developer “Is the user able to use the product in an efficient manner, the way the developer has intended to use his artifact.” If you are not a professional UX designer, you can understand the User Flow as a Flowchart although these two are different terminologies. User flow begins when the user logs in to the application, performs all actions( search, browse, scroll ), and continues until the user logs out. It includes all logical and computational conditions associated with the user interface.
A user flow is the visual representation of the paths a user can take, in order to achieve a specific goal. In order to determine the sequence of actions that will achieve a desired outcome, user flow diagrams include visual elements such as screens, shapes, and images in combination with connectors.
