What this video covers
A user journey map shows the steps someone takes to reach a goal and how they feel at each one. Emotion turns a flat list into a curve, revealing the low points - the moments worth fixing. You can see and try this concept in action on this page.
As a plain list of steps, every stage looked the same and the trouble hid in plain sight. Plot the emotion and the floor drops out at one stage - the real pain point, suddenly impossible to miss. The journey didn't change; mapping how it feels is what made the problem visible.
