Task Flow

PreviousUser FlowNextCard Sorting

Last updated 9 months ago

A task flow is a visualization of specific steps undertaken to accomplish a goal in your product.

The steps necessary to complete a task or goal are only shown in the task flow. It excludes the user’s choices and activities.

Task flows are typically:

  • Linear: Task flows generally represent a direct, predictable, ideal way a user would accomplish a goal in your product.

  • Sequential: Task flows are a series of steps to take a user from beginning to end of a goal.

  • Simple: Task flows tend to be straightforward and do not branch out with options or decision points.

Task Flow Diagrams

Task flows are typically documented in a linear diagram (a flowchart) showing the steps of the path taken by the user.
