Building on the foundation that our Conceptual Model Specification provides, Team Spirit explores solutions for your digital product’s interaction design challenges and produces an Interaction Design Specification that defines
- the visible affordances that your product’s user interface provides to communicate its functionality and support users’ tasks, including
- windows and their controls
- menus
- toolbars
- tabs
- data-entry controls such as text boxes and spin boxes
- selection controls such as option buttons, check boxes, and list controls
- buttons
- hyperlinks
- data objects
- labeling for all the aforementioned interactive elements
- user interactions and workflows that those affordances support, including
- navigation
- viewing
- selection
- data entry and editing
- direct manipulation of objects
- your product’s behaviors in response to user interactions, including
- state changes
- visual and aural feedback
- status information
- message box display
In summary, our Interaction Design Specification defines your product’s functionality, interactive elements, user interactions, workflows, and product behaviors. Either wireframes or screen images illustrate all interactive elements and direct-manipulation interactions. Once our Interaction Design Specification undergoes one or more cycles of review and revision, Team Spirit presents an overview of your digital product’s interactive functionality to your entire product team and user interface development can begin.
