We’re familiar with journey maps as a service design tool, but how is journey mapping used to test what you prototype?
In this workshop participants chose an aspect to prototype and tried out a few prototyping methods. Following the prototyping, participants used journey maps to understand and test how their persona would be influenced by the new prototype.
