To take things slow, let\u2019s begin with what a journey map is.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p style=\"color:#ed1165;font-size:23px\" class=\"has-text-color\"><strong>What is a Journey Map?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Have you ever bought a\nproduct \u2013 a good one at that \u2013 only to face extreme frustration with the packaging,\nor with the setup instructions? Sure you have. And in that moment you\ndefinitely thought to yourself that \u201cthey really should have thought this part\nthrough\u201d because it is ruining the experience for you. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This is exactly the point of a journey map. It notes every interaction the user will have with the product to provide a holistic view of the user experience: <\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/enableeducation.com\/content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/journey-map-sample-3-cropped-copy.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-12597\" width=\"451\" height=\"327\"\/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>The ultimate goal is to map out the experience in a way that uncovers moments of frustration and delight when interacting with the product. Once this interaction is mapped out, it becomes easier to see opportunities for improvement in the product, to make for a better experience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p style=\"color:#ed1165;font-size:23px\" class=\"has-text-color\"><strong>Where does learning come in? <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Exactly like a <em>user <\/em>Journey Map, a <em><span style=\"color: #ed1165;\" class=\"ugb-highlight\">Learning<\/span><\/em><span style=\"color: #ed1165;\" class=\"ugb-highlight\"> Journey Map<\/span> pinpoints miserable and magical moments in an employee\u2019s learning or training experience. It can be used for a one-and-done training session, or an ongoing learning program. What matters is not the length of the journey, but what happens before, during, and after the journey. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img src=\"https:\/\/enableeducation.com\/content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/Feelings-1024x180.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-12598\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>But the Learning Journey Map doesn\u2019t need to map only the learning interactions; <em>in fact, it shouldn\u2019t<\/em>. The Learning Journey Map should note everything about the experience. If it is an in-person training session, consider the room it is held in, from ambiance to temperature. If we\u2019re talking online training, consider barriers, like multiple login sequences, that may affect the experience in any way. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p style=\"color:#ed1165;font-size:23px\" class=\"has-text-color\"><strong>Why you need to use a Learning Journey Map to create great training<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you\u2019ve gotten his far, you\nlikely already had an \u201caha\u201d moment of why using a Learning Journey Map is so effective.\nThe Learning Journey Map helps you see what is holding your training back from\nbeing outstanding.
