Best Practices

Explanation of the method

  1. Preparation: Identify the target audience or user persona for the project. Gather relevant data on user behaviors, pain points, and touchpoints.
  2. Session Setup: Use a digital whiteboard to create a timeline representing the user's journey. Invite team members to contribute insights and observations.
  3. Mapping: Identify key stages in the user journey (e.g., discovery, onboarding, usage, support). Pinpoint touchpoints and interactions at each stage.
  4. Discussion: Discuss pain points, positive experiences, and opportunities for improvement. Encourage open communication and collaboration among team members.
  5. Documentation: Document key findings, insights, and any potential improvements. Use visuals like charts, graphs, or infographics to make the information more digestible.
