RULES
In D&D, the players follow a set of rules that govern the game mechanics, such as combat, movement, and spellcasting. Similarly, designing an Intranet requires a set of rules that govern the user's interactions with the system, such as navigation, search, and data entry. These rules can be defined through a set of design principles, such as consistency, simplicity, and feedback. Just like in D&D, the UX designer needs to ensure that the rules are clear, consistent, and fair to all users.
CHARACTER SHEETS
In D&D, each player creates a character sheet that describes their skills, attributes, and equipment. Similarly, designing an Intranet requires a set of design documents that describe the system's architecture, components, and features. These design documents can take various forms, such as wireframes, flowcharts, user stories, and personas. Each design document represents a character sheet that describes the attributes and capabilities of the Intranet. The UX designer needs to work closely with the stakeholders to create a set of design documents that reflect the user's needs, business goals, and technological constraints.
EQUIPMENT
In D&D, the players equip themselves with weapons, armor, and magical items that help them overcome challenges and enemies. Similarly, designing an Intranet requires a set of tools and features that help the user achieve their goals and complete their tasks. These tools can include search functions, data visualization, task management, and collaboration features. The UX designer needs to ensure that the tools are accessible, efficient, and relevant to the user's needs and goals.
QUEST MAP
In D&D, the players explore a world that is filled with dangers, treasures, and secrets. Similarly, designing an Intranet requires a map that guides the user's journey through the system. This map can take various forms, such as a site map, a task flow, or a navigation menu. The map should be intuitive, informative, and flexible to accommodate the user's needs and goals. Just like in D&D, the UX designer needs to provide the user with a sense of direction and purpose, as well as a sense of discovery and exploration.
