This books explains the essentials of wireframing and by that it means manage the planning of user experience design for applications.
I like how short it is. It explains each new concept well enough, gives some research and visual design techniques, the creation of user cases as “personas” (it even recommends some books on the subject). It also show’s two real life practical examples to apply concepts and potential situations regarding clients and how to deal with them. It is very straightforward and that’s my favorite part because I hate when books get redundant.
The two practical examples are a website and a mobile application. In both examples the author takes you through each design step and shows you the sketches and flowcharts as it goes along.
Overall it is a very good book and i recommend it for upcoming project managers.
