THE PREP
Creating effective prompts involves tailoring them with detailed, relevant information and uploading documents that provide the best context. Prompts act as a framework to guide the response, but specificity and customization ensure the most accurate and helpful results. Use these prep tips to get the most out of this prompt:
Outline the specific steps and tasks involved in the workflow.
Collect user feedback on challenges or drop-off points in similar processes.
Review examples of workflows from competitor products or related industries.
THE PROMPT
Generate wireframe ideas for a multi-step user workflow in [specific process, e.g., onboarding, checkout, or project setup]. Focus on:
Step-by-Step Navigation: Breaking the process into manageable steps with clear progress indicators.
Visual Clarity: Using simple layouts and instructions to minimize cognitive load.
Error Handling: Including placeholders for error messages or warnings at critical input points.
Actionable Elements: Designing buttons, forms, or dropdowns that guide users through each step.
Feedback: Incorporating success indicators or confirmation messages upon task completion.
Provide wireframe concepts for the entire workflow with descriptions of how each step supports user progression. If additional context about the target audience or workflow goals is needed, ask clarifying questions to refine the suggestions.
Bonus Add-On Prompts
Propose wireframe ideas for workflows requiring heavy user input, such as form submissions.
Suggest layouts that make multi-step processes visually engaging and less intimidating.
Highlight design elements in wireframes that improve error recovery for users.
Use AI responsibly by verifying its outputs, as it may occasionally generate inaccurate or incomplete information. Treat AI as a tool to support your decision-making, ensuring human oversight and professional judgment for critical or sensitive use cases.
SUGGESTIONS TO IMPROVE
Focus on specific workflows, such as account setup or subscription management.
Tailor wireframes for different device types or screen sizes.
Propose modular designs for workflows that vary between user segments.
Include recommendations for incorporating tooltips or guides into the wireframes.
Highlight opportunities for integrating gamification elements to boost engagement.
WHEN TO USE
During the design phase of complex workflows requiring multiple user interactions.
To explore variations in layout and navigation for multi-step processes.
When addressing usability challenges in existing workflows.
WHEN NOT TO USE
If the workflow involves only a single, straightforward action.
When focusing solely on backend or non-user-facing processes.
