Key components typically include:
- User personas: Detailed profiles of your target customers
- Touchpoints: All interactions between the customer and your brand
- Actions: What the customer does at each stage
- Emotions: How the customer feels throughout their journey
- Pain points: Obstacles or frustrations the customer encounters
- Opportunities: Areas where you can improve the experience
