Which tools (online or not, in this case must be for mac) you guys use to make user journey or user flows?

Sam Rye · Accepted Answer

I'm currently doing my MAsters of Design with a focus on experience design. Journey maps are where I live at the moment, and I've found UX Pressia hands down the best out there for price and usability.

I love the simple flow, as well as the ability to customise what categories or content types you include.

Also does Personas!

Please do value-chain mapping first. Creating screens is just selling on pixel perfect features and makes life very difficult. If you have a map, you can swap things out.

I love it! Makes the messy flow that is tangled in my head look smooth and simple. I love being able to drag and drop the blocks around and create board within board within board.

Sam Rye · Answer

If you're wanting something for mapping journeys for a product, Craft can just about cover this task. It would be more about the user stories, rather than logging emotions, photos and the likes though.

I just joined the MURAL team a few months ago...we have more than a few Fortune 500 companies mapping out end to end user journeys for some rather complex flows, we just had a large financial institution that mapped out every user transaction journey they had in MURAL. Here's a webinar we hosted a while back that might be of use - https://mural.co/webinars/build-experiences-not-features ...Also as you can imagine our software has been greatly improved since 2016 (time of original PH post) and we are looking forward to releasing a new feature out of beta that should be worthy of a new PH submission sometime soon - https://mural.co/scan
