User Journey Mapping by Luke Baker
Your guide into journey maps.
At Make it Clear we have spent many years helping our clients improve how they attract, engage and delight both new and existing customers. During this time we have defined our own approach to creating an outstanding user experience, including processes, principles and tools we use.A commonly used method in our tool kit is journey mapping. A journey map is a visualisation of the route users take as they engage with a company, product, service or brand.
Why use journey maps?
Journey maps provide a clear picture of the end to end experience. Identifying touch-points, channels, activities, emotions, pain points and opportunities along a time-based journey from the user perspective.
How are journey maps used?
By mapping the journey you gain an understanding of your product or service from the user’s point of view. It allows you to identify opportunities to improve the overall experience and by joining up different areas of your business, it provides a holistic insight of a user’s end-to-end journey.

Works best for:

Scenario mapping is the process of outlining all the steps a user will take to complete a task. The scenario mapping template helps you create a visual guide to what different personas are doing, thinking, and feeling in different situations. Use scenario mapping to outline an intended or ideal scenario (what should happen) as well as what currently happens. If you’re trying to outline the ideal scenario, user mapping should take place very early on in a project and can help inform user stories and the product backlog. If you’re just trying to get a better sense of what currently happens, you can do user mapping when conducting user interviews or observation.
