How to build a UX portfolio

For each project, I expect to see:

• The problem
• Who you worked with
• What tools you used
• Discovery phases (how did you go about solving the problem)
• The process you used to overcome the problem: lo-hi wireframes, prototypes, sketches, personas, user journeys, and research
• The final outcome (both of your work, and what happened after it was handed over, e.g. to a UI designer or developer!)

I also like to see storytelling — a plot development in the UX portfolio. In between each part of your process, explain why you went onto the next step of the process — did you run out of time? Did you feel your data was statistically significant? This will help the hiring manager get inside your mind and understand how you approach problems.
