How do we even begin a design for the user without getting into engineering prototypes?Don't we need to do lots of iterations of prototypes and physical mockups to get design inputs from other people?While these things can be useful, they're not always practical or necessary, No - we don't need to do lots of iterations of different mockups to get design inputs.In fact, we want to explore the use space with our team before we even start engineering stuff, including the mockups. So how do we get started talking with our team about a design concept without having something to show them?This episode describes just one way we could do it: how to get design inputs with flowcharts.If you want more on this topic, register for the workshop!
