ACTIVITY-FOCUSED DESIGN

Summary from the TLDR Design newsletter

Activity-focused design centers on the actions people take to reach their goals, with the core unit of analysis being what people do and how they do it. Task analysis is one approach that breaks down user goals into activities and individual tasks, requiring designers to choose appropriate levels of specificity for their design context. The process involves first identifying the most important user goals, then determining the specific tasks needed to achieve them.
