Defining User Task Structures

Define the structure of each user task by observation or examination of task descriptions and the data used.

Once you have defined the task structure, verify the design with the users. A “walk through” is an effective technique for conducting this type of review. It may be necessary to go back and review the tasks with the user to clarify any issues.
