Really solid vibe here—the journey is broken down clearly (discovery to repayments), and Alex’s persona gives it a real human touch. That “under 2-minute approval” goal and metrics like lowering cart abandonment really make the impact feel concrete.
To make it pop even more:
- Visualize the steps—a simple journey flow or light diagram could help viewers follow the user’s path at a glance.
- Call out the pain points—highlighting where users hit friction (checkout hesitation, repayment anxiety) makes the insights jump off the page.
- Add context with a story line—a short line like “Alex discovers BNPL at checkout, applies, gets approved fast, then manages easy payments” would turn it into an even more relatable moment.
Overall, you’ve built a thoughtful map that balances empathy with strategy—just a bit more visual storytelling and framing will make it shine.
It helpful to me! Great job!
This journey map presents a thoughtful visualization of Alex Rivera’s interaction with the BNPL feature. The structure is clear, moving from discovery to repayment, and the persona adds a realistic context that makes the scenario relatable. The inclusion of measurable success criteria (like approval time and cart abandonment rates) strengthens the map’s connection to business outcomes.
Strengths
- Persona Depth – Alex’s persona is well thought out, covering demographics, behavior, and motivations, which makes the journey credible and human-centered.
- Step-by-Step Flow – Breaking the journey into four distinct stages ensures clarity and makes it easy for readers to follow the user’s path.
- Business Alignment – The integration of KPIs such as repayment rates and credit limit growth ties the design work back to tangible business value.
- User Perspective – The addition of thoughts and emotions helps to surface friction points and makes the experience easier to empathize with.
Adding light visual storytelling, such as icons or a simple flow diagram, would make the journey even more engaging.
