Address the Whole Experience, from Start to Finish

We need to understand the different ways people will interact with our services, including the actions they take online, through a mobile application, on a phone, or in person. Every encounter β€” whether it’s online or offline β€” should move the user closer towards their goal.

Key Questions
  1. What are the different ways (both online and offline) that people currently accomplish the task the digital service is designed to help with?
  2. Where are user pain points in the current way people accomplish the task?
  3. Where does this specific project fit into the larger way people currently obtain the service being offered?
  4. What metrics will best indicate how well the service is working for its users?
