Run a customer journey mapping workshop with adaptive questions and outputs. Use when you need to map stages, actions, emotions, pain points, and opportunities for a persona and scenario.
intent
Guide product managers through creating a customer journey map by asking adaptive questions about the actor (persona), scenario/goal, journey phases, actions/emotions, and opportunities for improvement. Use this to visualize the end-to-end customer experience, identify pain points, and create a shared mental model across teams—avoiding surface-level feature lists and ensuring discovery work focuses on real customer problems, not assumed solutions.

Purpose
Guide product managers through creating a customer journey map by asking adaptive questions about the actor (persona), scenario/goal, journey phases, actions/emotions, and opportunities for improvement. Use this to visualize the end-to-end customer experience, identify pain points, and create a shared mental model across teams—avoiding surface-level feature lists and ensuring discovery work focuses on real customer problems, not assumed solutions.
This is not a feature roadmap—it's a discovery and alignment tool that uncovers where the experience breaks down and where improvements will have the greatest impact.
Input
Works best with: The persona (actor) and the scenario or goal to map.
Also useful: Journey phases you already know, research artifacts, and where you suspect the experience breaks.
Anything supplied with the invocation itself — text after the skill name, a pasted context dump, or an appended ARGUMENTS: line — counts as answers already given. Use it and skip whatever it covers; don't re-ask.
Arriving empty-handed? That works too. The workshop opens with the actor question (Q1) and proceeds one question at a time per the facilitation protocol.
Example invocation:Run a journey mapping workshop: persona is a first-time landlord, scenario is listing and leasing their first property through our app.
Key Concepts
What is a Customer Journey Map?
A journey map (NNGroup) visualizes "the process that a person goes through in order to accomplish a goal." It compiles user actions into a timeline, enriched with thoughts and emotions to create a narrative, then condenses and polishes into a visual artifact.
Five Key Components (NNGroup Framework)
Actor — A specific persona or user whose perspective anchors the map
Scenario + Expectations — The situational context and associated goals
session heads-up + entry mode (Guided, Context dump, Best guess)
one-question turns with plain-language prompts
progress labels (for example, Context Qx/8 and Scoring Qx/5)
interruption handling and pause/resume behavior
numbered recommendations at decision points
quick-select numbered response options for regular questions (include Other (specify) when useful)
This file defines the domain-specific assessment content. If there is a conflict, follow this file's domain logic.
Application
This interactive skill asks up to 5 adaptive questions, offering 3-4 enumerated options at each step.
Interaction pattern: Pair with skills/workshop-facilitation/SKILL.md when you want a one-step-at-a-time flow with numbered recommendations at decision points and quick-select options for regular questions. If the user asks for a single-shot output, skip the multi-turn facilitation.
Step 0: Gather Context (Before Questions)
Agent suggests:
Before we create your journey map, let's gather context:
Customer Research:
User interviews, discovery notes, support tickets
Churn reasons, exit surveys, NPS feedback
Analytics data (drop-off points, feature usage)
Personas or proto-personas
Product Context:
Website copy, product descriptions, positioning
Competitor journey maps or reviews (G2, Capterra)
Existing journey documentation (if any)
You can paste this content directly, or describe the customer experience briefly.
Question 1: Identify Actor (Persona)
Agent asks:
"Who is the actor for this journey map? (Which persona or user segment?)"
Offer 4 enumerated options:
Primary persona — "Your main target customer (e.g., 'small business owner')" (Most common starting point)
Secondary persona — "A secondary user segment with different needs (e.g., 'enterprise admin' vs. 'end user')" (Use if primary persona already mapped)
High-churn persona — "User segment with highest churn rate (e.g., 'trial users who don't convert')" (Good for retention initiatives)
Newly discovered persona — "Emerging user segment from recent research (e.g., 'remote teams' post-COVID)" (Good for market expansion)
Or describe your specific persona.
Adaptation: Use personas from context (proto-personas, JTBD research, etc.)
User response: [Selection or custom]
Question 2: Define Scenario + Goal
Agent asks:
"What's the scenario and goal for this journey? (What is the actor trying to accomplish?)"
Offer 4 enumerated options:
First-time use — "New user onboarding, from discovery to activation" (Common for SaaS, apps)
Core workflow — "Recurring task the user does regularly (e.g., 'create invoice,' 'run report')" (Common for established products)
Problem resolution — "User encounters issue and seeks help (e.g., 'forgot password,' 'billing question')" (Good for support/retention)
Upgrade/expansion — "Free user considering paid plan, or existing customer expanding usage" (Good for growth initiatives)
Or describe your specific scenario.
User response: [Selection or custom]
Agent extracts:
Actor: [Persona from Q1]
Scenario: [Context from Q2]
Goal: [What actor is trying to accomplish]
Question 3: Identify Journey Phases
Agent says:
"Let's break the journey into high-level phases (typically 4-6 phases from start to end)."
Agent generates 4-6 journey phases based on scenario (Q2).
Example (if Scenario = "First-time use"):
Journey Phases (left to right):
1. Discover — User learns about product
2. Evaluate — User researches, compares alternatives
3. Try — User signs up, starts onboarding
4. Activate — User reaches "aha moment," experiences value
5. Use — User integrates product into workflow
6. Expand — User considers upgrading or inviting team
Agent asks:
"Do these phases capture the full journey? Should we add, remove, or rename phases?"
User response: [Approve or modify]
Question 4: Map Actions, Thoughts, Emotions per Phase
Agent says:
"Now let's map what the actor does, thinks, and feels in each phase."
Agent generates 3-5 actions, thoughts, and emotions per phase based on context (Step 0) and scenario (Q2).
Example (for Phase 3: "Try — User signs up, starts onboarding"):
Phase 3: Try (Onboarding)
Actions:
- Signs up with email
- Receives welcome email
- Logs in for the first time
- Sees empty dashboard
- Searches for "getting started" guide
Thoughts:
- "This looks promising, but I'm not sure where to start"
- "Do I need to watch a tutorial video?"
- "What's the first step?"
Emotions:
- Curious but uncertain 🤔
- Slightly frustrated (no clear next step) 😕
- Hopeful it will get easier 🙂
Pain Points:
- No onboarding checklist or guided tour
- Empty state doesn't suggest next action
- Too many options in navigation (overwhelming)
Agent repeats for all journey phases, showing full map.
Agent asks:
"Does this capture the customer experience accurately? Should we adjust actions, thoughts, or emotions?"
User response: [Approve or modify]
Question 5: Identify Opportunities (Pain Points to Address)
Agent says:
"Based on the journey map, let's identify opportunities for improvement—ranked by impact."
Agent generates 5-7 opportunities (pain points with highest emotional intensity or drop-off rates).
Example:
# Opportunities (Ranked by Impact)
## 1. Onboarding lacks guided first steps (Phase 3: Try)
**Pain Point:** Users see empty dashboard, don't know what to do first
**Evidence:** 60% of signups don't complete first action within 24 hours
**Opportunity:** Add interactive onboarding checklist ("Create your first project," "Invite a teammate")
**Impact:** HIGH — Directly affects activation rate
---
## 2. Pricing page is confusing (Phase 2: Evaluate)
**Pain Point:** Users don't understand which plan fits their needs
**Evidence:** High bounce rate on pricing page (70% leave without signing up)
**Opportunity:** Add plan comparison tool or "Which plan is right for me?" quiz
**Impact:** HIGH — Directly affects trial conversion
---
## 3. Support is hard to find (Phase 5: Use)
**Pain Point:** Users encounter issues, struggle to find help
**Evidence:** Support tickets often say "I couldn't find an answer in docs"
**Opportunity:** Add in-app help widget, contextual tooltips
**Impact:** MEDIUM — Affects retention, but fewer users hit this phase
---
## 4. Email confirmations lack context (Phase 1: Discover)
**Pain Point:** Marketing emails don't explain value clearly
**Evidence:** Low click-through rate on email campaigns (5% vs. industry avg 15%)
**Opportunity:** Rewrite emails with customer language, clear CTAs
**Impact:** MEDIUM — Affects top-of-funnel awareness
---
## 5. Upgrade prompts feel pushy (Phase 6: Expand)
**Pain Point:** Users perceive upgrade prompts as sales-y, not helpful
**Evidence:** Negative sentiment in NPS comments ("too many upgrade popups")
**Opportunity:** Show upgrade value contextually (when user hits free plan limit)
**Impact:** LOW — Affects smaller user subset
Agent asks:
"Do these opportunities align with your priorities? Which should we focus on first?"
User response: [Selection or custom]
Output: Customer Journey Map + Opportunity List
After completing the flow, the agent outputs:
