A journey map lays out the touchpoints, actions, and emotions a customer experiences while pursuing a goal. It follows the customer's experience across teams and channels.
Use interviews and behavior records to mark expectations and actual outcomes, then locate sharp emotional drops. In the demo, a delayed delivery bends the emotion line downward; an update helps it recover.
A polished map is not evidence by itself. Ground each touchpoint and emotion in observed behavior or customer accounts.
When to use
Use it to align teams on where a cross-team experience breaks down.
