A transformational workshop lead by OOUX chief evangelist Sophia Prater—learn to wrangle complexity with rigor and grace!

The ORCA Handbook

An Ebook that will walk you through all 15 steps of the ORCA process

We are working on an ebook that will serve as a happy medium between the intense 10-week OOUX Certification Program and this #15DaysofORCA series of tweets! We are condensing the most important need-to-know concepts and strategies in each of the 15 steps of the ORCA process.

‍

The ORCA process diagram: During four rounds, we iteratively go deeper on objects, relationships, calls-to-action, and attributes.

‍

The ORCA process is a comprehensive framework for synthesizing research into solid structure, creating a foundation for visual and interaction design. It's a massive time-saver: reducing rework, improving communication, and ensuring an elegantly simple design. The collaborative activities and artifacts of the ORCA process gives cross-functional teams X-ray vision into product scope as well as a shared language to talk through and inherent complexities.

‍

In this ebook, you'll learn how to create an object map, a CTA matrix, an object guide, a system model, a navigation flow, and OOUX-style prototypes. You'll also learn some fundamental principles of object-oriented UX and get a peek into how OOUX emerged in the first place.
