Overview
Course Week 12-13, Assignment 3 - Group Project Intro
Design Meetings
Design workshop in preparation of Report 1.
In this workshop, we explored the step-by-step process of designing a cloud-native application. We started with the project idea, selected agile methodologies for team collaboration, and defined user personas and requirements. From there, we generated user flows, demonstrating how to transition from user personas to user flows, wireframe design, and ultimately the UI design of the app. We also discussed decoupling into microservices based on business and user logic while beginning to sketch the app's architecture.
Here are some resources and tools you can use:
UX/UI Design Tools and Free Templates:
Tools: Figma, Google Slides, Miro
Agile Planning and Requirements Tools:
Tools: Jira, Trello, GitLab Issue Board
Architectural Sketch Tools:
Tools: Lucidchart, Draw.io, Microsoft Visio
