User experience is a term used to describe the overall experience and satisfaction a user has when using a product or system. User experience design defines a sequence of screen presentations, user interactions, and system responses that meet user goals and tasks while satisfying business and functional requirements.
In practice, user experience design consists of one or more of the following disciplines: interaction design, user interface design, information architecture, visual design and usability. Typical outputs include:
- Wireframes (screen blueprints or storyboards)
- Prototypes
- Written specifications that describe the design
