If you are an interaction designer, you should consider starting out with flow map (even if you have a strict feature content requirements from engineering or marketing). This exercise not only put you (or your team) out of your comfort zone and think from user's perspective but also force you to think like the user (rather than like the designer).
In mapping out the most straight forward mental model of flow of information, you will eventually find yourself creating necessary wireframes to visually communicate the information layout, behaviors, and use cases. At the end, just like anything else, this is also an iterative process. So don't let yourself love your flow map too much because it will change as you move down the product dev process. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
