If a gunman in a school is too difficult and dangerous for a typical local police force to handle, the right response is not to condemn local police forces as cowardly. The right response is to discredit the "good guy with a gun" fantasy.

If your design's visual fidelity outstrips its conceptual fidelity, you project a false sense of certainty to collaborators and risk constraining conversations about the product to decoration and style.

Wondering how enterprise journey mapping differs from mapping consumer experiences? My two-part series takes you step-by-step through current-state and future-state enterprise journey mapping. buff.ly/3JNNKMO
One reason I am enthusiastic about object modeling for designers is because it can help you think through a function before committing to design solutions. buff.ly/2Yntpg1
Sometimes, when working out how a new feature might function, I create a "mini-model" of the feature. This allows me to think through some of the details before getting into screen-level design.buff.ly/2Yntpg1
"Make sure you keep any object models or flow diagrams as light as possible, providing just enough detail to meet the circumstance. Avoid the temptation with object modeling in particular to needlessly perfect the model." buff.ly/37cs4MJ
"Building an object model can be an effective team exercise to get a shared understanding of either an existing system or the requirements for new functionality." buff.ly/2Yntpg1
"Today, objects and actions are foundational to any user experience. As we’ll see in the chapters that follow, modeling a system’s objects can help streamline the design process and improve design outcomes." buff.ly/37cs4MJ
Check out the free quick reference card (from my book) to learn more about standard flow diagramming conventions. I show specifically how the conventions can be used/adapted for UX. buff.ly/3uUm9nZ
"Using standard flow diagramming symbols can give your diagramming efforts a real boost. Adhering to the standard conventions makes it easier to create diagrams, and your diagrams will be easier for others to consume." buff.ly/37cs4MJ

Why create an object model? The model's structural perspective lays the foundation for the overall experience, including identifying signature elements, creating higher-level design system constructs, and developing a consistent system vocabulary. amazon.com/dp/B09VYC7VSP
