Use this checklist to move from a specific usage scenario to a customer journey map: document evidence-based actions, goals, touchpoints and pain points, then visualize the journey and derive testable improvements.
checklist: Create Customer Journey Map
Synthesis & Modeling · Analysis phase
version 1.1
Clarify goal & initial situation
e.g. identify existing weak points, visualize touchpoints
Each journey relates to a specific user group
e.g. registration, product purchase, support request
e.g. interviews, diary studies or usability tests; distinguish evidence from hypotheses and open questions.
Define structure & dimensions
e.g. attention → research → decision → use → commitment
What does the persona actually do in each phase?
What does the user want to achieve?
e.g. frustration, insecurity, joy
e.g. website, hotline, app, e-mail
What is not working? Where are barriers occurring?
Visualization & Communication
e.g. color coding, icons, timeline
So that the map can also be understood by others
e.g. discuss or annotate in the workshop
e.g. new features, adaptation of communication
e.g. next review date
