Task Analysis

Task Analysis is a UX research method that involves breaking down a task into its component steps in order to understand the user's workflow and goals. It provides a detailed view of the user's process and identifies opportunities for improvement or innovation.

Task Analysis can be used in the early stages of design to understand the current user experience and to inform the design of a new product or feature. It can also be used in usability testing to define tasks for participants to complete.

The output of a Task Analysis is often a diagram or flowchart that shows the steps involved in the task, the decisions that the user needs to make, and any pain points or challenges they face.
