Synopsis:

Most personas and journey maps crash land shortly after takeoff. This step-by-step playbook provides a revolutionary approach to creating these pivotal artifacts in product design through the concept of altitudes. They will guide you in conceptualizing your users through research techniques that directly inform persona characteristics.

You'll also master constructing flight paths for journey maps that capture the user’s journey at the perfect level of detail, uncovering key moments in their experience. Then, as personas and journeys evolve, you will learn to measure the impact of product experience improvements.

With this book as your co-pilot, you'll navigate the creation process with the help of templates and real-world examples reflecting the latest methods for personas and journey maps.
