Customer Journey Map

A visual depiction of the complete customer experience with a product or service, outlining stages, channels, and touchpoints where interactions occur.

Key Points

  • Shows the customer's steps from first awareness through use and support, including channels and touchpoints.
  • Exposes pain points, gaps, and opportunities that feed the product backlog and acceptance criteria.
  • Aligns cross-functional teams on desired customer outcomes and responsibilities at each stage.
  • Built from real evidence (research, analytics, interviews) and refined iteratively as learning grows.

Example

An agile team building a mobile banking app maps the path from ad click to app store, onboarding, first transfer, and help center. The map reveals drop-off during identity verification. The team adds user stories to simplify KYC steps, updates success metrics, and plans experiments to validate improvements.
