What is User Journey?
The complete path a user takes through your product to accomplish a goal.
Why It Matters
Mapping user journeys reveals friction points and opportunities to improve the experience.
Real-World Example
The journey from landing on the homepage to completing a purchase, including every page and decision along the way.
“Understanding terms like User Journey matters because it helps you have better conversations with developers and make smarter decisions about your software. You do not need to be technical. You just need to know enough to ask the right questions.”
