What is a task flow diagram?
A task flow is a diagram that represents a user's journey through a specific task. You can think of task flows as the DNA of content experience. Instead of viewing a single piece of content in isolation, a task flow allows you to consider how one piece of content connects to the next.
What is a task analysis diagram?
A hierarchical task-analysis diagram visually lays out the user's goal, the tasks they must complete to achieve the goal, and the subtasks that go into each task in a visual format that shows the sequence and relationship between these things.
How do you draw a task flow?
First, we need to pick a task to show. It should be something that users actually want to achieve. It also should be something pretty standalone. This will make more sense later, but you want to break things down into low level tasks which you can then combine into larger flows.
What is task flow analysis?
A step-by-step analysis of how a user will interact with a system in order to reach a goal. This analysis is documented in a diagram that traces a user's possible paths through sequences of tasks and decision points in pursuit of their goal.
