Empathy Maps are useful tools, and can be used to:
-
Document findings from observations or tests with users and capture the user from different perspectives in order to build empathy.
-
Better understand where the user has problems (Pains) or possible advantages (Gains), and derive his tasks (so-called Jobs to be done).
-
Gather insights to create a persona.
-
Summarize observations more easily and capture unexpected insights.
