When to choose customer journey mapping
The Surf team has been delivering mobile and web products since 2011 and know what to pay attention to while building user-friendly and easy-to-understand apps. We apply the Customer Journey Map flow to identify user needs and study app user journey, on the one hand, and to use an opportunity to synchronize Surf and Client’s teams in their product vision, on the other hand. In the long run, this step helps to optimize project expenses.
We recommend our clients CJM workshop when they
have a concept of a large-scale product based on the internal team suggestions and wishes, and it is necessary to determine which features are of real importance and priority
look for insights aimed at improved converting into action due to deep UX research
have an existing solution in use, and it is required to identify problem areas to optimize it
CJM case studies
CJM workshop allows both teams — of Surf and Client — synchronize at the initial stage of the project in their vision and expectations and learn each other before development starts
