Take the 2-minute tour ×  Given that everyone has their own
"nitch" or style for developing new products/applications,  I
was wondering if there is an ideal cycle that most ux
professionals like to follow?  This could be controversial in

many tools and powerful resources for designers to use, I
sometimes feel "lost" in which is the most ideal way.  For
example:  User stories > Flow Charts > Site Map (IA) > Wire
Frames > Prototype > test > Reiterate  share|improve this
