InVision: A Great Tool for PMs to Share Designs with Teams and Customers

Incentivized
Greg Jubb
Product Manager in Information Technology at Total Wine & More (5001-10,000 employees employees)

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We use InVision as a solution for UX artifacts, including journey maps, mockups, and interactive wireframes. Specifically, our UX designers take the lead with designs and share these designs with relevant stakeholders. We review designs among UX and Product folks as well as embed InVision artifacts into user stories. Often, after concepts are validated internally, we share InVision assets directly with customers for their review. Our work spans various enterprise apps in the business.

Pros

  • Features to enable clickable prototypes
  • Organization of wireframes to map out user flows
  • Easily shareable assets

Cons

  • For non-primary users, navigation can be difficult.
  • Embedding of assets into other software is a challenge.
  • When clicking through a flow, it would be nice to easily navigate to other screens without backtracking to the main menu.

Return on Investment

  • Clearer product vision
  • Reduction in time spent communicating requirements to developers
  • More engaged customers
  • More clarity to customers

Great for DSM and simple prototyping

Veronique Tally
UX Researcher in Product Management at MidFirst Bank (1001-5000 employees employees)

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We used InVision for prototypes in user testing, wireframing concepts, DSM, collaboration, and design handoff. It helps address usability issues, makes inspecting design files easy for engineering, and has a well-organized DSM that can be auto-updated through Sketch. Freehand makes collaborating/brainstorming remotely easy and files can be shared with a public link.

Pros

  • Craft plugin to Sketch allows for streamlined updates from design files.
  • Easy to share prototypes.
  • Design system manager

Cons

  • Limited prototyping functionality.
  • Cannot turn off swipe to next screen on prototype (has messed up user tests).
  • Have to design in separate software (Figma, Sketch).

Return on Investment

  • Time saving creating simple prototypes.
  • Improved consistency with design system management.

  • A very professional and manageable way to house multiple assets, across clients and projects.

Cons

  • Housing video files doesn't allow for easy preview or playing.

Most Important Features

  • Team sharing/collaboration.
  • Real time view and editing.
  • Ability to house final files.
  • Separate boards can be used for different clients, different projects with ease.

  • For the price it is well worth it. It improves collaboration and efficiency which can be easily attributed to cost savings or improved margins.
  • It also adds an element of professionalism and sophistication to the process and presentation of the work, which in turns aids in brand favorability.
