I’ve been doing some kind of product management for many years now and keep on making the same mistake.
I keep forgetting: What if the User wants to cancel the operation?
It’s easy to think about a process from start to finish, always moving forward. During development and testing, canceling or going back doesn’t matter but for my Users it is often a crucial action.
Luckily, most of the time it’s a simple “Cancel/Close” button or icon. Sometimes it’s a little more tricky and whole operations must be rolled back.
Going forward, I try to remember the following questions:
– What places can an operation be canceled?
– What happens on Cancel?
– Can users go Back?
– What should happen on Back?
– Can Users resume after Cancel or Back (stateful)?
– What happens if the User Cancel/Back during background operations?
Thanks to one of the Users for pointing out the missing “Close” Icon on the “Case Quick Close” form. What an oversight from my side.
