Show Suggested Answer

Suggested Answer: C

A journey map is a research technique that is used to develop personas. A journey map is a visual representation of the steps, interactions, and emotions of a user as they go through a process or a service. A journey map can help develop personas by identifying the pain points, opportunities, and gaps in the current state, and by generating ideas for improving the user experience and value proposition in the future state. A journey map can also help communicate the user needs and expectations to the stakeholders and align them on a common vision and goal.

I remember learning about personas in my UX design class. I'm pretty sure they're created based on user research, but I can't recall the exact technique. I'll have to eliminate the options that don't seem relevant and see if I can narrow it down.

Okay, I know personas are a key part of the user-centered design process. I'm pretty sure they're developed through some kind of user research, but I'm not certain which specific method is used. I'll have to make an educated guess on this one.
