User flows

A lot of projects I work on require documenting complex workflows and user tasks. These help developers to see what back-end processes may be needed and any logic that is necessary.

Wire flows

To better understand the actual user experience and to see differing page states I use Wireflows. These are a combination of wireframes and flowcharts that document workflow and screen designs when there are a small number of pages that change dynamically.
