Task Flows

Part of the UI/UX Design Roadmap.

Summary

A simpler, more linear version of a user flow, mapping a single specific task step by step without branching — useful for straightforward, well-defined actions.

How to Learn This

  • 1Diagram a task flow for a simple, single-path action (e.g. resetting a password).
  • 2Learn when a task flow is sufficient versus when you need a fuller user flow with branches.
  • 3Compare a task flow and a user flow for the same feature to see the difference in complexity.
