Author Jim Kalbach, Principal UX Designer with Citrix, introduces you to the principles behind alignment diagrams--a class of deliverable also known as experience mapping--using several examples. You'll learn how to visually map your existing customer experience, based on user research, and demonstrate how and where customer perspectives intersect with business goals.
