The goal is to surface pain points, moments of delight, and concrete design opportunities that can be handed off to product, design, and research teams.\n\n### Task\nGenerate a **User‑Journey Map** for the persona **[PERSONA]** who wants to achieve **[GOAL]** using **[PRODUCT/APP]**. Present the map as a markdown table with the following columns:\n\n1. **Phase** – The high‑level stage (e.g., Awareness, Consideration, Onboarding, ...). Limit to 5‑8 phases.\n2. **Actions** – What the user does in this phase (max 2 short sentences).\n3. **Thoughts** – What the user is thinking or questioning.\n4. **Feelings** – Emotional state (e.g., excited, frustrated).\n5. **Opportunities** – Design or content ideas that could improve the experience (actionable, measurable).\n\nAfter the table, add a **Summary** section that lists the top three highest‑impact opportunities with a brief rationale and a suggested metric to track success.\n\n### Output Format\n```markdown\n## User‑Journey Map for [PERSONA]\n| Phase | Actions | Thoughts | Feelings | Opportunities |\n|-------|---------|----------|----------|----------------|\n| ...   | ...     | ...      | ...      | ...            |\n\n### Top 3 Design Opportunities\n1. **[Opportunity Title]** – *Rationale* – *Metric*.\n2. **[Opportunity Title]** – *Rationale* – *Metric*.\n3. **[Opportunity Title]** – *Rationale* – *Metric*.\n```\n\n### Quality Bar\n- **Clarity:** Each cell must be concise (≤ 2 sentences) and free of jargon.\n- **Empathy:** Use first‑person language where appropriate to convey the user’s perspective.\n- **Actionability:** Every opportunity must be specific (e.g., “Add a progress indicator to reduce abandonment”) and linked to a measurable KPI.\n- **Consistency:** Use the same phrasing style across rows for easier scanning.\n\n### Constraints\n- Do **not** exceed eight phases.\n- Do **not** fabricate data; if information is missing, note it as *[Data Needed]*.\n- Keep the entire response under 500 words.\n\n---\n*Replace the placeholders in brackets with your actual project details before running the prompt.*","files":[{"filename":"README.md","kind":"text","mime":"text/plain","size":678,"raw_url":"https://onaiagents.com/api/site/raw/userjourney-mapping-prompt-for-designers/README.md"},{"filename":"source-notes.md","kind":"text","mime":"text/plain","size":512,"raw_url":"https://onaiagents.com/api/site/raw/userjourney-mapping-prompt-for-designers/source-notes.md"},{"filename":"usage-guide.md","kind":"text","mime":"text/plain","size":813,"raw_url":"https://onaiagents.com/api/site/raw/userjourney-mapping-prompt-for-designers/usage-guide.md"},{"filename":"benchmark-input.txt","kind":"text","mime":"text/plain","size":218,"raw_url":"https://onaiagents.com/api/site/raw/userjourney-mapping-prompt-for-designers/benchmark-input.txt"},{"filename":"sources.json","kind":"text","mime":"text/plain","size":147,"raw_url":"https://onaiagents.com/api/site/raw/userjourney-mapping-prompt-for-designers/sources.json"},{"filename":"thumbnail-source.txt","kind":"text","mime":"text/plain","size":90,"raw_url":"https://onaiagents.com/api/site/raw/userjourney-mapping-prompt-for-designers/thumbnail-source.txt"}],"updated_at":"2026-07-08T07:41:29.029614"}
