Frequently Asked Questions
What is a user journey map?
A user journey map is a visual diagram that traces the steps a person takes to complete a goal within a product or service. It captures stages, tasks, the people or systems involved, and how satisfied users feel at each point. Journey maps help teams spot friction, align on priorities, and design better experiences.
How do I use the user journey map creator?
Start by entering a title for your journey, then add the actors involved — such as 'Customer' or 'Support Agent'. Create sections for each phase of your journey and add tasks within them, assigning satisfaction scores and actors to each. Your diagram updates live as you work, and you can export or share it when ready.
Can I create a user journey map for free?
Yes. MakeCharts lets you build and download user journey maps completely free, with no account required. Free AI credits are included so you can also try AI-powered journey generation. Paid plans unlock more AI credits, file uploads, and embed codes.
What is a satisfaction score in a journey map?
A satisfaction score (rated 1 to 5) on each task indicates how positive or negative the user experience is at that moment. Low scores highlight pain points worth fixing, while high scores reveal moments worth amplifying. MakeCharts makes it easy to assign scores and see the emotional arc of your journey at a glance.
Can I add multiple actors to my user journey map?
Yes. You can define as many actors as your journey requires — for example, the end user, your web platform, a payment gateway, and a support agent. Each task can be assigned to one or more actors, showing clearly who is responsible at every step.
