User Experience Mapping

By: Peter W. Szabo

Overview of this book

Do you want to create better products and innovative solutions? User experience maps will help you understand your users and improve communication with them. Maps can also champion user-centricity within the organization. This book is the first print resource covering two advanced mapping techniques—the behavioral change map and the 4D UX map. You’ll explore user story maps, task models, and journey maps, while also creating wireflows, mental model maps, ecosystem maps, and solution maps. You’ll learn how to use insights from real users to create and improve your maps and products. The book delves into each major user experience map type, ranging from simple techniques based on sticky notes to more complex map types, and guides you in solving real-world problems with maps. You’ll understand how to create maps using a variety of software products, including Adobe Illustrator, Balsamiq Mockups, Axure RP, and Microsoft Word. Besides, you can draw each map type with pen and paper too! The book also showcases communication techniques and workshop ideas. You’ll learn about the Kaizen-UX management framework, developed by the author, now used by many agencies and in-house UX teams in Europe and beyond. Buying this book will give you hundreds of hours worth of user experience knowledge, from one of the world’s leading UX consultants. It will change your users’ world for the better. If you are still not convinced, we have hidden some cat drawings in it, just in case.

How to tag videos


Tagging means stopping a video each time we observe user insights and create snippets from them. Don't worry, a remote research platform will help you with this; you will not need Adobe Premiere or Apple Final Cut Pro. In this chapter, we will use the built-in tagging feature from the WhatUsersDo platform. However, if you are recording your own videos, for example, with Skype or Cisco WebEx, you might need some basic video editing skills. If you need to edit videos, I would recommend Lightworks, a free video editing software, available for all major operating systems from https://www.lwks.com. This software is used in Hollywood; for example, Pulp Fiction and The King’s Speech was edited with it. However, you don't need to be a video editing pro to use it. With Lightworks, you can splice out a few seconds from a video and compress the results. Also, you can go even further than that, and add Hollywood-like effects to your tags, or rather, please don't.
