What is Environmental Profile?

Overview

The user environment design determines the structure of the new system. It does not define the look or the layout. Like all aspects of design, contextual design gets the high-level structure first, then builds the details. Interaction patterns help teams to think structurally about the high-level structure of each page or screen in a user environment design. It collects all product requirements from all storyboards and organizes them into coherent areas, each focused on its core purpose.
