Have a look at IBM's OVID method. It uses UML to model UX elements
such as tasks, mental objects, views/screens etc. It's old, but has
proven very useful to me to capture complex things, if not applied
too rigidly.
Unfortunately IBM itself took it offline some time ago, but you can
trace it on
Hi,
I've been using UML and prototyping tools together for years. These
two methods go together in a very nice way. Especially, if you focus
on main types of the diagrams - activity diagram, and use cases.
Why?
First of all, UML requires being strict. It is easier to cover whole
logical flow of
I've used both and find the specific usefulness of each as follows:
* UX is the research and design of a solution.
* UML is the technical specification of the solution that resulted
from the UX work.
It helps me to remember that proper User Centered Design brings a
multi-disciplinary team to the
Thanks for all of the good input and examples everyone!

practice here is in it's infancy and I am now a team of one. While

process enables workflow to be described in a way that is entirely
separate from defining the UI.
The end result is a set of requirements that doesn't rely on UI
elements (which can be defined later, and not baked in during
Well, I've looked at the diagrams and thought about their implications
for the confluence of technical culture and interaction design
culture. Perhaps this will help ...

Hi Gail.
I'm a big fan of the UML (except I hate saying The UML :-)
In my past life I had to do
