Concept mapping can be used to facilitate interaction design processes through various stages. Concept mapping presents information visually and structurally, surfaces strengths and weaknesses of ideas, and is easy to understand, flexible, and adaptable. Case studies of designing mobile app prototypes over 8 months found that concept mapping supported elicitation, communication, representation, and adaptation, though they do not easily scale with many nodes. Future work could explore using concept mapping similarly to state transition diagrams to represent an application's logic.
