Create user and customer journey maps to understand experiences, identify pain points, and discover improvement opportunities. A human-centered complement to process-focused value stream mapping.
A journey map visualizes a user's experience over time as they accomplish a goal. Unlike process maps (which show what happens), journey maps show how it feels from the user's perspective.
