Customer journey map

Sketch the entire customer journey and build more lovable experiences

About the customer journey map template

Customer needs and expectations are always evolving. So it is important to truly understand your customer and center their experience as you guide them through the different phases of buying and using your product. The goal is to deliver a cohesive experience at every touchpoint — from the content you write to the interactions with your sales and support teams.

Use this template to map out the customer journey from awareness and consideration through to advocacy. Consider what customers are doing, thinking, and feeling at each step. Better yet, invite participation from teammates in marketing, sales, product management, and customer support — each team has a stake in delivering a Complete Product Experience (CPE).

Remember that building your customer journey map is just the beginning. As customer needs evolve, revisit your map to spark ideas for future enhancements and opportunities. At any point, you can promote ideas on the map directly into actionable work items in Aha! Roadmaps.
