In & Zoom Out - details and overall grasp of the product experience

Generally speaking, my performance can only be as general as this busy work, preparation is not sufficient. The speech is not the overall transformation into a blog post, remove the "blind rabbit" This map Zoom example, I also get rid of RO story, in this brief speech to convey some of the views:

● details are important?
You see a big black piece or even a few pieces on this piece of white paper, which you find unbearable, and you can not change it - but in fact, scaling to the overall perspective, these are just a few small sesame seeds.
So do not be too particular about the details.
The details do have the power to gather into the tower, with every detail affecting your users virtually. However, if there are too many things or details in front of you, let's zoom in on your view, sort out and seize Sesame and Watermelon to capture the key processes and the "key details" of the interface.

● Different "height", different size of the field "stand tall and see far" - different heights you can see different landscapes. At 50,000 feet, you can see a large piece of the big map; within tens of meters you can see all the details in the neighborhood. So it may be better to Zoom your view some:
Zoom In, zoom in, can see the details, can be focused, meticulous;
Zoom Out, narrow some, can help you distinguish the small roads and main roads on the map, to seize the key;
In the ancient general's handsome account, or in the headquarters of the modern war, there must be a large map - to see the overall situation in order to strategize, in order to talk between laughter ashes.
Of course, no one knows everything from the overall situation to all the details. It is important to find out what height you are in and what your field of view is. On this basis, more Zoom In some, things can be more detailed, from the details to enhance http://www.aliyun.com/zixun/aggregation/20581.html "> product quality; often Zoom Out, will be more convenient Good understanding of the overall product, whether it is the purpose, positioning or other.

● Locate Your Vision Knowing where this piece of your child is located on the entire map is good for doing your own thing.
At the same time that we pay attention to our own territory, we can broaden our horizons and see "neighboring countries" and even "the whole world" before we can see the relationship between ourselves and our competitors in the entire market. How to win.

● Comprehension among partners The last thing to say is that the timing relationship is skipped, but it is mentioned in the discussion that there is understanding and collaboration among different roles throughout the team.
If you can temporarily zoom in on your partner's level, you can understand why the other person insists on a particular detail, or why you want to persevere in one direction. This is an understanding.
And if you are not a designer, but a PM or a BCD boss, do not always get the details and people do not, believe them, take a good grasp of your level of work. From the product's strategy and positioning, to function, interaction and final vision and all the details are done, will have a really good user experience.

postscript:
Set the theme of "Zoom", inspired by a workshop attended many years ago. The host foreigner started to broadcast a video for us at the outset: the camera gradually lifted from a lying person to the entire lawn, the entire city, the entire earth, the entire universe ... and then the proportion gradually returned to the lying People, and then zoom to the skin, cells, and even DNA, electronics ... ... When initially preparing lectures, but also want to use this example, but unfortunately did not find (later found, interested students can look http: // ishare .iask.sina.com.cn / f / 7741933.html). Feel free to borrow some of your own - draw a few abstract circles little bit, Felix proposed that the expression is not clear, and later I used the "blind rabbit" as an example.

Google Maps is a good expression of the theme I want to buckle, when your map is reduced by a certain percentage, you will find that the surrounding facilities disappeared, the road name disappeared, only shows the park and trunk road names; Hongkou District , Putuo District disappeared, began to see the surrounding provinces and cities; with the step by step Zoom Out, even the last city and country names are gone, only shows that several continents and the sea. As for what you have to do is to plan the entire city, or let a district to do everything, the zoom of the nature of the different, "details" and the "whole" there are different trade-offs.
