Identifying Task Objects with Product Context Analyzer
A Task Object factsheet presents a complete view of a single task object, including its lifecycle, possible error states, key attributes, related actions, and the actors interacting with it. It guides the design of UI flows by showing how the object behaves in real user tasks, and informs backend data modeling to ensure system structures and processes reflect actual user workflows.
Specify the task, activity, responsibility, journey, or user group you are interested in
Example: Order Pizza from a delivery service for a business meeting
Describe the activity in a single sentence without prescribing a particular product or solution.
Optionally include context such as who is performing the activity and under what circumstances.
Adding context helps make the analysis more domain-specific.
Task objects are identified from the tasks and activities included in the analysis.
The analysis takes several minutes depending on the scope and number of tasks identified
As soon as the analysis is completed, you can open it and look at all artifacts
The quick access view provides direct access to all artifacts grouped by UX method
You can also browse all results by stakeholder, task or task object by clicking on the left icons
Click on Task Objects on the left to see all task objects identified across the analysis
Select an individual task object to open its detailed factsheet
Task objects may be used across multiple tasks and by different stakeholders
The factsheet consolidates the lifecycle, error states, attributes, actions, and actors associated with a task object
Use the factsheet to inform how the object and its state should be represented in the user interface
Use the identified task objects as the foundation for a human-centred domain and data model
Use the links to explore related tasks and stakeholders in more detail
See the object's attributes, states, actions, and lifecycle together so the interface reflects how users actually work with the object.
Use lifecycle stages and error states to consider how the product should support the object beyond the immediate task or interaction.
Give engineering a human-centred description of the object that can inform domain and data modeling before technical structures are defined.
Check whether the system's current entities and attributes reflect the objects users actually work with and the information that matters to them.
Use the factsheet as a structured hypothesis to validate object attributes, lifecycle stages, actions, actors, and exceptional states before committing them to a design.
