Experience journey map
Use this experience map to understand and manage your current user experiences. Identify user reactions, the touchpoint contributors, important element details, and provide insight into the "moments that matter" in the experience.
In their book Designing Experiences, authors Rossman and Duerden present a simple map for designing experiences. While the design and execution of experiences may not be as simple or as linear as this map, it can still be helpful in identifying ways to improve the current user experience.

What is the experience journey map template?
We’ve all heard of a customer journey map, but did you know you can visualize your customer’s experience on an even deeper level? The Lucidspark customer experience journey map template lets you take a holistic, all-encompassing look at the end user’s experience with your product in order to identify opportunities for improvement.
Using our template, your team can fill in touch points throughout the customer journey to evaluate participants and reactions at each stage. You can also add more depth to your understanding of the user experience using valuable add-ons like:
- Moments that Matter: Critical moments in the user journey that prompt positive or negative emotions and influence decisions.
- Moments of Truth: Any moment when a user may form an impression of your brand.
- Moments that Matter Explanation: The explanation of why each Moment that Matters was chosen and why it is important to the user experience.
Why use the experience journey map template?
The customer experience journey map template can help you better understand your end users’ experience with your product in order to identify blindspots, areas that are working well, and opportunities for growth.

- Identify real participant reactions for each respective touchpoint.
- Determine which people and/or things make each touchpoint happen.
- Identify multiple Moments that Matter and Moments of Truth throughout the experience.
- Explain the Moments that Matter and why you chose them.
