The document outlines the interaction design process, which consists of three main phases: 1. Discover - Learn about the subject matter, users, business objectives, and constraints through research. 2. Define - Distill insights from research to create a framework defining features and initial design concepts. 3. Design - Build on initial concepts with more detailed explorations, documentation of all experience components, creation of visual designs, and prototyping of the experience.
