Frequently Asked Questions
How is a customer journey map different from a user flow?+
A user flow documents the steps a user takes within your product to complete a specific task (e.g., "sign up for an account"). A customer journey map is broader. It covers the entire lifecycle relationship, including interactions outside your product (discovering you through Google, reading reviews, talking to sales, contacting support). Journey maps also capture emotions and pain points, which user flows typically do not.
How many personas should I map?+
Start with your primary persona. The one who represents the majority of your revenue or users. Add secondary personas only after the first map is complete and has generated actionable insights. Most teams do well with 2-3 journey maps total.
What tools should I use to create the map?+
This template works in any document or wiki tool. For a more visual format, consider Miro, FigJam, or Lucidchart. The format matters less than the substance. Do not spend more time designing the map than researching it. ---
