A journey map is a visualization of the process that a person goes through in order to accomplish a goal. In its most basic form, journey mapping starts by compiling a series of user actions into a timeline. Next, the timeline is fleshed out with user thoughts and emotions in order to create a narrative. This narrative is condensed and polished, ultimately leading to a visualization.

OBS

A journey map has a specific actor (a singular customer or user of a product) and specific scenario (of a product or service), while an experience map is broader on both accounts — a generic human undergoing a general human experience. The experience map is agnostic of a specific business or product. It [is] used for understanding a general human behavior; in contrast, a customer journey map is specific and focused on a particular business or product.

PHR

customer journey map, user journey map

Subject field(s)
  • Vacuum Machines
DEF

A multi-stage vapor in which the vapor supplied to the first stage(jet nearest the high vacuum) has been purged of the more volatile impurities, resulting from decomposition or contamination. This purging is caused by the partial condensation and refluxing of vapor in the condenser and the circulating of the condensed pump fluid through a series of boilers feeding the various stages. The result is that the unwanted volatile constituents are ejected in the stages closest to the fore vacuum.
