Prototype and test user flows

Guide work up the fidelity ladder from content to code

Incrementally validating design direction without over-investing in fidelity before PMF confirmed.

• · user journey description or flow diagram
• · current fidelity level

• · artifact at next fidelity
• · validation plan with tasks and success criteria

• · figma for high-fi
• · component library for code

Problem statement clear, user segment defined, current fidelity identified

Skips fidelity levels, missing error paths or edge cases in flow, validation plan too vague

• · Every flow includes error paths and edge cases
• · validation tasks are concrete not vague
