User journeys are visual representations of the steps a user takes to accomplish a specific goal within a product or service. In this lesson, you’ll discover why understanding the full journey—before, during, and after interaction—is essential to great design.
We’ll cover:
-
The anatomy of a user journey: actions, thoughts, emotions, and touchpoints
-
Common use cases: onboarding, checkout, customer support, feature discovery
-
How user journeys differ from task flows and user flows
-
Examples from real apps to illustrate the impact of journey-focused design
Through practical exercises, you’ll begin outlining a user journey for a product or service you use regularly, helping to develop empathy and analytical thinking.
