CJMs map the entire experience of your
customers, helping you understand where the
points of friction are and what kind of
feelings they are experiencing at each step
of the “journey”.
JOURNEY
AS A STORY

SCENARIO
SCENARIO
• What we are trying to examine, the “what”.
• Should be focused on a business goal
• Best scenarios are the ones that describe a
sequence of events
• Could be an existing journey or a to-be experience
that doesn’t exist yet

HOW CAN WE
IMPROVE?
YOU DO WANT, BUT…
WHAT DO YOU HAVE?
More often than not, we think for users we
would like to have, rather than the ones we
actually have.

TIMELINE/ACTIONS
• Represent what the user is doing
throughout the journey
• Data points should be based on qualitative
research
• Granularity can vary on purpose of the map
(evaluate a design vs. mapping a complete
cycle)

business, product or brand

her goals?
