Aim:
 To explore a real person’s experience with a task and discover exactly where the problems happen.

Requirements:

  • User journey worksheet or notebook

  • Pen or pencil

  2. Write down each step of that task in order.

  3. Carefully observe or imagine where the person:

    • Struggles

    • Takes extra time

    • Feels discomfort or frustration

  4. Mark those steps as pain points.

  5. Highlight them for future problem-solving.
