Customer Journey Map Template
Works best for:
Ideation, Mapping, Product Management
A customer journey map (CJM) is a visual representation of your customer’s experience. It allows you to capture the path that a customer follows when they buy a product, sign up for a service, or otherwise interact with your site. Most maps include a specific persona, outlines their customer experience from beginning to end, and captures the potential emotional highs and lows of interacting with the product or service. Use this template to easily create customer journey maps for projects of all kinds.
Job Map Template
Works best for:
Design, Desk Research, Mapping
Want to truly understand your consumers’ mindset? Take a look at things from their perspective — by identifying the “jobs” they need to accomplish and exploring what would make them “hire” or “fire” a product or service like yours. Ideal for UX researchers, job mapping is a staged process that gives you that POV by breaking the “jobs” down step by step, so you can ultimately offer something unique, useful, and different from your competitors. This template makes it easy to create a detailed, comprehensive job map.
Service Blueprint
Works best for:
Research & Design
The Service Blueprint template is perfect for visualizing the orchestration of service components. It maps out frontstage and backstage elements, helping you analyze and enhance customer experiences. Use this template to align teams, identify pain points, and streamline processes, ensuring a seamless service delivery. It's ideal for creating a shared understanding of service dynamics among stakeholders and collaborators.
Proto Persona Template
Works best for:
Design
Business decisions frequently rely on the personal preferences and assumptions of internal employees. However, making decisions that prioritize the needs of the individuals being served is helpful. When personas are developed effectively, they provide guidance to you and your team, ensuring that the interests of these crucial stakeholders are considered when making significant decisions.
Storyboard for Animation
Works best for:
Storyboard
The Storyboard for Animation template offers a structured approach to visualizing your animation from start to finish. With sections for scenes, actions, audio, and technical details, this template supports every stage of animation production. Perfect for animators and creatives, it enhances collaboration, ensures consistency, and brings your animated vision to life with clarity and precision.
SUS Evaluation
Works best for:
Design, UX
To assess the emotional experience of users, use the SUS Evaluation Template. This involves conducting a survey with a set of questions where respondents rate their level of agreement on a scale ranging from 'Strongly Disagree' to 'Strongly Agree.' These questions evaluate various aspects of the user experience, such as ease of use, aesthetics, and overall satisfaction. This approach is valuable for comparing design iterations and evaluating the effectiveness of products and services.
