    Hi Antje,

    Thanks for sharing your comments! One of the main ideas is that this would NOT become a tool to create your deliverables with. It would rather be some sort of ’combine-all-your-deliverables-in-an-easy-way-and-share’ kind of a tool. And as such, should be extensible to include the related design deliverables you mentioned.

    Follow us, we hope to share more thoughts and ideas in the future...

    Hi guys,

    thanks for sharing! Interesting thoughts. Shame I had to miss the actual presentation.

    Not sure if I personally would be using a single tool (as these things always seem to be too restrictive), but might be a good framework for sharing it with the team. (Of course then you’d also want some version control, support for comments & alternatives etc.)

    Within e.g. the user flow, it’d be handy to then also link to the artifacts of e.g. user research stage (persona’s, concepts, scenarios etc).

    Great work! - Will be interesting to follow discussions & how it evolves!!

  3. Chris Pierson UX consultant 10 years UX experience 2.5 years at User Intelligence
  4. Jacco Nieuwland UX consultant 8 years UX experience 4 years at User Intelligence
  5. User Intelligence It’s our goal to design interactive products that provide great User Experiences, based on knowledge of both the users and the business. Services we offer: • Research • Design • Optimize www.userintelligence.com
  6. what is a sitemap
  7. a sitemap is a diagram in which the various pages or page types throughout the site and the user paths to and from them are documented. A sitemap is an overview of the pages within a website. A site map is a diagrammatical representation of the logical structure of a set of webpages the sitemap is an IA relic from the web 1.0 era
  8. our definition a design deliverable that seeks to communicate the overall structure and navigation of [a website] – possibly including screens, pages, objects, states and flows
  9. why talk about sitemaps?
  10. why talk about sitemaps?
  11. why (talk about) sitemaps? • So many of us still do this – and need to do this • Nature of websites and applications is changing • Structure needs to be mapped & communicated So sitemaps need to evolve to be able to effectively communicate structure and concepts
  12. where have we come from?
  13. Where have we come from? web 1.0 hierarchical top-down static HTML
  14. where are we now?
  15. Where are we now? web 2.0 linked & shared content focused on user & communities XML, RSS
  16. sitemap
  17. primary action map
  18. sitemap + navigation scheme
  19. Alternative visualisations
  20. concept map
  21. user flows
  22. UIAML scheme
  23. screenflow plus scenario
  24. storyboard for interactive movie
  25. interaction matrix / interesting moments grid
  26. wireflow
  27. Where are we going?
  28. Where are we going? web 3.0 the semantic web the machine web linked data clouds
  29. even though the way data is handled will change, in many cases the design of the websites that display that data will not change drastically
  30. recap
  31. sitemaps are still used to communicate structure, navigation and concepts
  32. it takes a lot of these diagrams to create something simple
  33. different audiences can have different information needs – documentation needs to account for this
  34. so, is there a way to incorporate all these needs into one deliverable?
  35. interactive documentation
  36. interactive documentation allows for different layers of information and different views of the same design
  37. there are existing tools that do this (Axure, Balsamiq, swipr, etc) - but none provide the complete set of features we’re looking for
  38. why not apply our user experience design experience to our documentation?
  39. requirements for documentation: • easy to create • easy to maintain • creative control (open) • easy to share/publish • contextual communication • easy to navigate / intuitive
  40. sketches /ideas
  41. past experience shows enthusiasm with the audiences and improved understanding of the design
  42. 2005 – UK government – communicate the design of a complicated web application integrating screenflows, wireframes, mockups, validation rules/business rules
  43. wrap-up
  44. a sitemap is more than just a hierarchical collection of pages mapping & visualising structure and behaviour is still important visualisations are naturally evolving with evolving technology different audiences have different needs
  45. interactive documentation helps to cater for these audiences in one deliverable is an opportunity to apply our UX Design experience to our deliverables allows us to present these different layers of information in context
  46. what next?
  47. thank you! user intelligence Amsterdam office www.userintelligence.com Chris Pierson pierson@userintelligence.com Jacco Nieuwland nieuwland@userintelligence.com
