Research Study 181 / 200
Product and companion app information architectures are disconnected
Device functions do not align with app navigation, forcing users to search repeatedly for the right controls.
Three-step solution method
- Map physical actions, app interactions and task status within a single workflow.
- Align feature names and access points, and clarify the role of the product and the app.
- Use tasks spanning the product and app to test understanding and continuity of use.
Key Deliverables
- Cross-Platform Task Map
- Feature Mapping
- App Prototype
Verification Approach
Record mismatched access points, repeated actions, and conflicting states.
Translating research into products and services
