What’s a Journey Map?
An journey map (aka experience map) helps create a shared empathic
understanding of the customers' interactions with the [company or product]
over time and space.
Quote Source: Chris Risdon, Adaptive Path
• “A good experience should map feel like a catalyst, not a
conclusion.”
• “A map should have some qualitative and quantitative
information in order for it to take shape in a meaningful way.”](https://image.slidesharecdn.com/journeymaps-140522213024-phpapp02/85/Journey-maps-4-320.jpg)
![About the Customer
Feeling Thinking Doing
Did you notice frustration
or delight about
something? Did you see it
on their face? Did they tell
you so explicitly? Were
they feeling rushed,
anxious, excited, etc.?
Why?
What were they thinking as
they were going through
the process of [example:
checking out on your site]?
Did they express confusion
about as they were
completing the task? What
was their mental model?
Did they do anything
interesting that may inform
you of problems or
opportunities in your
design? (Examples: use
their phone to check
something, call their friend
to ask for
recommendation, etc.)
Goal
WHAT does your he/she want to achieve? (e.g. “I want to buy these shoes so that I can look great at the prom.”
not “I want to go through your checkout experience so I can have these shoes.”)
Customers perform tasks to achieve a goal. Your job is to find out what that
goal is. Underlying that goal are emotions, thoughts, and actions.](https://image.slidesharecdn.com/journeymaps-140522213024-phpapp02/85/Journey-maps-11-320.jpg)

Gain Strategic Insights Having a holistic view into our customer’s mindset and motivations, the stages of their experience, and key trigger points can give us unique insights into how to design for them. Drive Alignment Align teams or stakeholders to strategic initiatives. Formulate a Plan Journey maps can provide a formalized framework to ensure continuity and consistency across all integrated communications and touch points.

- 11. About the Customer Feeling Thinking Doing Did you notice frustration or delight about something? Did you see it on their face? Did they tell you so explicitly? Were they feeling rushed, anxious, excited, etc.? Why? What were they thinking as they were going through the process of [example: checking out on your site]?

(Examples: use their phone to check something, call their friend to ask for recommendation, etc.) Goal WHAT does your he/she want to achieve? (e.g. “I want to buy these shoes so that I can look great at the prom.” not “I want to go through your checkout experience so I can have these shoes.”) Customers perform tasks to achieve a goal. Your job is to find out what that goal is. Underlying that goal are emotions, thoughts, and actions.
- 12. About the Context Places People Channel Time WHO are they interacting with? (e.g. A customer service agent) WHEN are they doing this? (e.g. Day/night) HOW are they doing this? (e.g. On their phone or on a POS device or in a store) WHERE are they interacting with you? (e.g. in your retail store at the mall) Context can influence behavior. Awareness of contextual variations and how they affect behavior can help you design relevant, timely experiences.
- 13. Touchpoints are moments where your customers interact with your business. Examples: • Customer service call • Welcome email • Opening product packaging • An interaction on a website • Word-of-mouth referral We want to orchestrate the touchpoints!

- 15. 15 Breakdown of a Journey Map Source: Mary Lan The journey captures an end to end experience, where you define the start and end. Example: When a customer gets in their car to go to the grocery store to when they finish putting away the groceries at home. As you start to map out the tasks over time, you may notice phases beginning to reveal themselves. Time (and Phases) The customer whose experience you are representing in your map.Role What the customer wants to achieve.Goal What is the thing you want to measure? This can be emotional value (e.g. happy, frustrated) to quantity of time (e.g. how long did it take them to complete certain parts of the process) or some other value you assign to the journey map. This is your Y-axis (assuming “Time” is your X-axis). Put more simply, your journey map won’t be effective if you can’t tell a story about it. Simply saying Jane (“role”) did this (tasks to achieve “goal”) and this and this… (tasks across “time”) isn’t compelling. You need to add that Jane did this and this across time and these are the points where is where she is happy/frustrated. Value

Editor's Notes
- #4: Class will be in two parts: lecture + activity
- #6: Journey maps are a great synthesis of other artifacts you may already be used to.
- #10: (Set timer) (5 min)
- #12: Every person performs a task or series of tasks to achieve a goal. Your job is to find out what that is – what motivates them to complete the task? Supporting that goal are emotions, thoughts, and actions. When you interview, look/listen/probe for these. Note: You could also use an empathy map for this purpose. This is basically a stripped down version.
- #18: (Set timer) (5 min)
- #19: (Set timer) (5 min)
- #27: (Set timer) (5 min)
- #31: (Set timer) (5 min)
- #32: High level process (if you had days/weeks)
- #34: (Set timer) (5 min)
- #37: Take the story you captured and think about how these pieces apply
- #38: What do you want to measure? What’s the baseline?
- #39: Define your stages, color code the parts
