10 chapters introduce 10 document types in an accurately structured approach:
- User Needs Documentation: Personas, Usability Test Plans, and Usability Reports
- Strategy Documentation: Competitive Analyses, Concept Models, and Content Inventories
- Design Documentation: Site Maps, User Flows, Wireframes, and Screen Designs.
From the book site: "There is one chapter for each deliverable, and every chapter is structured the same way, consisting of four parts: At-A-Glance, Creating, Presenting, and In Context. The At-A-Glance section provides an overview of the document. This is to help people who haven't made one get a sense of what it is. The Creating section describes the contents of the document, and strategies to ensure your document is complete and accurate. The Presenting section offers strategies for using the documents with clients and team members. Finally, the In Context section looks at how the document fits into the overall project, relating to other deliverables and some food for thought on how the document might change in the future."
