After 5 years of iterations and rewrites, we are proud to present X-ray UX: The ORCA Handbook. The handbook for the ORCA process! We have condensed the most important need-to-know concepts and strategies in each of the 16 steps of the ORCA process.

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.
