It is often used as a tool to look at a product or a service from customer’s perspective. It visualizes customer’s actions from start to finish, it’s often a great tool to surface blind spots and find opportunities.

How we used it
The final journey map was shared by a team of designers at Design Innovation Group and utilized for many other projects. Some took it to map internal digital projects within the institution, so that we can see where the institution is falling short when considering the whole patient journey.
