Group lean use cases into experience maps

After two or more lean use cases are created, you can group them into experience maps; experience maps are simply a collection of lean use cases, for viewing purposes only—no rating/voting for designs takes place in experience maps.

2. Click the Launch link from a lean use case's Detail panel.
   
   

Voting on lean use case design

Stakeholders vote on the design of a lean use case on behalf of the target persona. When a lean use case is created, assigned a persona, and given start and end dates, all stakeholders assigned to the persona receive an email notification to vote on lean use case design during the specified time range. When the stakeholders launch the lean use case, as described in the section above, the lean use case displays:

To vote on a design, follow these steps (refer to diagram above):

1. Set the Activity Date Filter in the top-right of the page to capture a specific time range of activity.
2. Use the Persona panel, on the far left of the page, to select the target persona, by clicking the persona icons at the bottom of the panel. 
3. View the first step for the lean use case at the top of the page, paying particular attention to design attachments, such as mockups, graphics, or wireframes.
4. Use the voting icons at the bottom-left of the page to select a rating for the design step; you are prompted to enter notes after selecting a ranking.
5. View average ratings in the center of the workspace via the line graph; hover over the lines to gain further information by date.
6. Use the Forward and Back buttons located on either side of the design steps to cycle through all of the steps in the use case and vote on each step.
