Cathy Spenser

Hi there! My name is Cathy. I’m a virtual mentor of the CJM Fundamentals course at the UXPressia Academy.
I’ll ask you some questions to determine who is your persona in the CJM world.
We'll also take a quick look under the hood to see what to expect inside the course.
Are you ready?

Let’s start with the most critical question.
Why do you need a customer journey map?
Cathy Spenser
Mentor
Hmmm, that sounds promising. But I need more details.
Your to-be-built CJM is likely to be similar to the example number...

CJMs can come in different formats: from handwritten stickers on the wall to complex schemes in the electronic format.
But when choosing a format for your CJM, remember that it’s data that determines the format, not vice versa.

Let’s imagine for a moment that you’ve built a CJM. What will you do next? Which artifacts will you create?
Cathy Spenser
Mentor
Sounds interesting!
There are many ways to use CJM. Some people, for example, use CJMs as dashboards.
They put KPIs on maps, make these maps available to all stakeholders and continuously update these maps.

Let's move on. Where will you collect data for your CJM?
From the list below, choose all the options that best suit you.
I’ll conduct a user interview or a user monitoring session.
I’ll carry out a survey.
I have some thoughts and hypotheses.
I’ll ask marketing/sales/research departments and other people communicating with users to share the data they have with me.
I’ll run a brainstorming session with my team and/or parties concerned.

You can use a variety of different sources to collect data for your map.
But remember to make use of real customer data (e.g., reviews, interviews, etc.) to ensure that decisions driven by your map lead to qualitative results.

What in-house challenges do you face while building a customer journey map?
Cathy Spenser
Mentor
I see. That’s exactly what I went through.
And the last question I have. What would you do if you needed to build another CJM?
Cathy Spenser
Mentor
That’s all. Thanks!
I’ve processed your answers, and here is your result.

You're preparing a presentation to align vision between multiple stakeholders. You use personas to explain who you are targeting with your marketing campaigns, and you use customer journeys to communicate a big picture with all touchpoints and budgets for each stage.
You live in PowerPoint and you use it to put together all sorts of reports including highlights from customer journey maps and personas, market research, competitors overview, etc.

Pre-Sale Pro
You use customer journey maps to pitch your ideas to your client or team and to make sure everyone understands the changes you propose. The stakes are high, the audience is demanding, and so the way your map looks is a make-or-break factor.
Your maps must have good visuals such as interface screenshots, photos, flow diagrams, etc. as they will be used for development.

You have gone through the post-it notes, whiteboard, and spreadsheet phase; they worked okay, but clean design helps you understand areas of opportunities faster.

You make customer journey maps collaboratively during workshops and turn insights into epics/stories that you and your team will bring to life. You track progress and keep your map up to date (or at least try to).
You want to communicate ideas quicker and keep everyone in the loop.
You can share the results with your friends.

That was an example of how the Academy works.
Virtual characters will ask you questions, share CJM basics, give you tasks, and provide you with feedback on them.
Our first course, CJM Fundamentals, will take you from A to Z through all the steps you need to master customer journey mapping. This interactive course is packed with real data samples and practical exercises, making learning fun.
