An Introduction to Journey Mapping
Journey mapping is a powerful technique used to visualize and understand the series of interactions a person has with a product, service, or organization to achieve a specific goal. It's a way of stepping into the user's or customer's shoes to see the experience from their perspective. This process involves creating a visual representation, often a diagram or map, that details each step, touchpoint, emotion, and potential pain point encountered along the way. While it may sound straightforward, journey mapping is a nuanced practice that combines research, analysis, and storytelling to reveal critical insights.
