Boost your UX Skills with this Excellent UX Mapping Methods Comparison Cheat Sheet 🔥🔥

Save to Bookmarks for reference 🙌

Summary:
Empathy maps, customer journey maps, experience maps, and service blueprints depict different processes and have different goals, yet they all build common ground within an organization.

Four Types of Mapping:

1. Empathy Mapping
An empathy map is a tool used to articulate what we know about a particular type of user. It externalizes user knowledge in order to 1) create a shared understanding, and 2) aid in decision making.

Characteristics:
- The map is split into 4 quadrants: Says, Thinks, Feels, Does.
- It shows user’s perspective regarding the tasks related to the product.
- It is not chronological or sequential.
- There is one empathy map for each persona or user type (1:1 mapping).

Why use it:
- To build empathy for your users
- To force alignment and understanding about a user type

When to use it:
- Beginning of any design process
- When categorizing research notes from a user interview

2. Customer Journey Mapping
A customer journey map is a visualization of the process that a person goes through in order to accomplish a goal tied to a specific business or product. It’s used for understanding and addressing customer needs and pain points.

Characteristics:
- The map is tied to a specific product or service.
- It is split into 4 swim lanes: phases, actions, thoughts, mindsets/emotions.
- It reflects the user’s perspective:
- Including her mindset, thoughts, and emotions
- Leaving out most process details
- It is chronological.
- There is one map per persona/user type (1:1 mapping).

Why use it:
- To pinpoint specific customer journey touchpoints that cause pain or delight
- To break down silos to create one shared, organization-wide understanding of the customer journey
- To assign ownership of key touchpoints in the journey to internal departments

When to use it:
- At any point in the design process, as a reference point amongst a team throughout a product design cycle

3. Experience Mapping
An experience map is a visualization of an entire end-to-end experience that a “generic” person goes through in order to accomplish a goal. This experience is agnostic of a specific business or product. It’s used for understanding a general human behavior.

Characteristics:
- It is not tied to a specific product or service.
- It is split into 4 swim lanes: phases, actions, thoughts, mindsets/emotions.
- It offers a general human perspective; it is not a specific to a particular user type or product/service.
- It depicts events in chronological order.

Why use it:
- To understand a general human behavior
- To create a baseline understanding of an experience that is product/service agnostic

When to use it:
- Before a customer journey map in order to gain understanding for a general human behavior
- When converging multiple experiences (tool and specific user agnostic) into one visualization

4. Service Blueprinting
A service blueprint visualizes the relationships between different service components — people, props (physical or digital evidence), and processes — that are directly tied to touchpoints in a specific customer journey.

Characteristics:
- It is tied to a specific service.
- It is split into 4 swim lanes: customer actions, frontstage actions, backstage actions, and support processes.
- It reflects the organization’s perspective:
- Focusing on the service provider and employees
- Leaving out most customer details
- It is chronological and hierarchical.

Why use it:
- To discover weaknesses in the organization
- To identify opportunities for optimization
- To bridge crossdepartment efforts
- To break down silos and create one shared, organization-wide understanding of how the service is provided

When to use it:
- After customer journey mapping
- Before making organizational or process changes
- When pinpointing a funnel or breakpoint internally

- Customer journey maps

Define:
- Personas

- User flows
- Information architecture
- Service blueprints
- Business model canvas
- Crazy 8’s
- Design principles

Prototype:
- Paper prototypes
- Micro-interactions

- Design documentation
- HTML/JS prototypes

Test:
- Usability testing
- Shadowing
- A/B testing

@theuichamp Please explain the colors according to the 60-30-10 Color Rule, such as which color takes up 60%, which color 30%, and which color 10%, based on the screen design you uploaded here. This will make it easier to understand the rule. By the way, you have done a very well-informed.
