map

Possibly the most famous design thinking tool, a customer journey map allows you to reconsider the interaction with your products or services from the customer's perspective.

What is this for?

A customer journey map is a tool designed to better understand how a customer is solving a problem.

Completing a customer journey map will help you identify unknowns, opportunity areas and potentially map out possible solutions. You should update your customer journey map as you learn more about your customers through interactions with them.
