How to Identify and Fix User Journey Friction

Visualise the pain points in your current user flow and generate immediate fixes with your team.

About this session

When a product underperforms, teams often debate solutions before they actually agree on where the user experience is breaking down. This workshop bridges that gap by forcing a visual walk-through of the current flow to expose specific friction points. By the end, the group converts these frustrations into a shared list of immediate, documented fixes.

Why it works

Mapping the journey visually prevents participants from getting lost in abstract discussions or individual anecdotes. By moving directly from identifying a pain point to proposing a solution in the same session, the team maintains momentum and avoids the typical delay between research and action.

What you’ll walk away with

  • Clear actionable outcomes from a 4-step facilitated process
  • Increased participant engagement and buy-in
  • Documented decisions and next steps
  • Improved team alignment on the topic

Who it’s for
