Cos'è User Flow Mapping

User Flow Mapping is the practice of diagramming the path a user takes through a product to accomplish a goal. Flows show screens, interactions, decisions, and alternative paths. A checkout flow might be: Browse → Add to Cart → View Cart → Enter Shipping → Enter Payment → Confirm Order → Success. Flows identify where users succeed and where they get stuck. You create flows for key user scenarios (sign-up, checkout, onboarding, refund). Each flow shows decision points (if user is logged in, do this; if not, do that) and alternative paths (user abandons, user retries after error). Flows guide design and help teams discuss UX before building.

❓ Domande frequenti

What's the difference between user flows and journeys?
User flow shows the path (screens, clicks, decisions), how they navigate. Journey map shows emotions and touchpoints, the experience. Flow is UI-focused; journey is holistic. Often used together.
How do I identify the best user flow?
Start with the happy path (user succeeds easily). Then map edge cases (user confused, user has error). Test flows with users; simplify based on feedback.
What symbols do I use in user flows?
Standard: rectangle (screen/action), diamond (decision), arrow (flow), circle (start/end). Flowchart symbols are universally understood. Keep it simple.
How detailed should user flows be?
It depends on audience. High-level: 5–10 steps. Detailed: 20+ steps with every edge case. Start high-level; expand as needed. One flow per feature/user goal.
How do I validate that my user flow is correct?
Test with users. Have them complete the flow while talking aloud. Do they follow it naturally? Do they get lost? Iterate based on feedback.
