The goal of wireframing is to provide a visual understanding of the design early in the project to gain buy-in from stakeholders and the project team before the idea phase begins. Wireframes can also be used to create global and secondary navigation to ensure that the terminology and structure used on the site match user expectations.
I was fortunate to have multiple opportunities to work on contract projects at Microsoft in Redmond Washington. OneAuthZ was an alpha project spawned by an engineering team designed to create a product for streamlining employee and contractor authorization at Microsoft. Once authorized, an employee or contractor would immediately have (based on their security level) access to services and goods at Microsoft campuses around the globe. I’m brought in at the very beginning of the project led by the Engineering Manager and Project Director.
Below is an early wireframe iteration designed to demonstrate mobile usability.
