Journey mapping
A journey map is usually a research and alignment artifact, while customer journey analytics uses behavioral data to measure actual paths at scale. Good maps are based on evidence from interviews, observation, support, and analytics rather than assumptions. They help teams see cross-channel handoffs, emotional context, and ownership gaps that a single funnel may miss.

Why it matters
A journey map is usually a research and alignment artifact, while customer journey analytics uses behavioral data to measure actual paths at scale. Good maps are based on evidence from interviews, observation, support, and analytics rather than assumptions. They help teams see cross-channel handoffs, emotional context, and ownership gaps that a single funnel may miss.
Example
