A forcing function is a constraint where the user "is forced" to complete a task based on a limited, paired-down set of features or controls. Forcing functions help streamline, simplify, or minimize how a user interacts with a design. Designers benefit from this interaction design technique by reducing navigation redundancy, task effort, and complexity.
