Episode notes
Complexity in Early Journey Mapping
- Marc’s onboarding journey became too complex when translated from Miro to Deidu due to many lanes and unclear definitions.
- This complexity caused slowing down as Marc and team struggled to decide where new insights and opportunities should fit.
Simplify with Limited Lanes
- Stick to a limited set of lanes like insights, opportunities, solutions, and metrics to simplify journey maps.
- Use nested journeys for details instead of overcrowding the main map with excessive steps or lanes.
Triple Diamond in Journey Management
- Journey management aligns with the triple diamond workflow: problem discovery, solution discovery, and delivery.
- Tracking insights, opportunities, solutions, and metrics throughout enables better collaboration and progress tracing.
