Details

The main problem we are trying to solve is to improve our understanding of user experiences. We would like to understand our strengths and areas of improvement from a customer perspective.

This will involve several different steps for the students, including:

  • Conducting background research on customer journey mapping, our products and customers.
  • Analyzing customer responses from surveys and interviews.
  • Defining the phases and touchpoints of the purchasing process.
  • Incorporating user actions, emotions, goals, and pain points in the customer journey map.
  • Proposing solutions to minimize pain points while meeting business goals.

Bonus steps in the process would also include:

  • Developing multiple customer journey maps to account for different experiences and paths.

  • Understanding of our company and the importance of customer journey mapping
