1 Consider your goals and needs

The first thing to do is to define your goals and needs for journey mapping. What are you trying to achieve? Who are your target customers? How complex are your journeys? How often do you need to update them? How do you want to share and collaborate on them? These questions will help you narrow down your options and focus on the features that matter most to you.

I would suggest that; Journey mapping is about designation of goals and needs specific to unique clients to lessen the complexity. The more tasks are achieved, new task is put forward and collaborated on slowly eliminating complexity.

2 Compare different types of tools

Journey mapping tools come in various forms, depending on your budget, preferences, and level of expertise. Online platforms such as Custellence, UXPressia, and Smaply are web-based tools that allow for the creation, editing, and sharing of journey maps online. Software applications like Adobe XD, Miro, and Sketch are desktop or mobile apps that can be installed on your device and used offline with more advanced features and functionalities. PowerPoint or Excel are common tools that may be already accessible and familiar to you; however, they may not offer the same level of customization, interactivity, and collaboration as other tools.

The more complex each task; the tools that may be required should be able to match each complexity. The less complex task requires much more simple tools, vis-a-vis.

3 Evaluate the features and benefits

Once you have a shortlist of potential tools, you need to evaluate their features and benefits. It's important to consider the ease of use, functionality, visual appeal, collaboration, and cost when making your decision. For ease of use, ask yourself how user-friendly and intuitive the tool is, how easy it is to learn and navigate, and what kind of training and support it provides. Functionality should be evaluated based on the core and additional features of the tool, its ability to meet your goals and needs, and its flexibility and adaptability to your specific scenarios and requirements. Visual appeal should be considered in terms of the journey maps produced by the tool - how attractive they are, how well they communicate customer insights and stories, and how much customization and personalization they allow. As for collaboration, ask yourself how well the tool facilitates collaboration and feedback among your team and stakeholders, how easy it is to share and export journey maps, and how secure and reliable it is. Lastly, consider the cost - what are the pricing plans available and what payment methods are accepted? Ultimately, you want to get value for money with this tool.

Evaluating features and benefits with the appropriate tool that fit into clients requirements and these tool must be client specific and able to be understood by the client. Even so, the parameters should be communicated to client and see if it suite them. Cost cutting, is key as most client may not need very expensive tool to solve their unique problems. It's advisable client have the option to say what tool best suits them.

4 Test and review the tools

The final step is to test and review the tools that you have selected. You can do this by signing up for free trials or demos, watching tutorials or videos, reading reviews or testimonials, or asking for recommendations from other users. You can also create some sample journey maps with each tool and compare them based on your criteria and preferences. This will help you get a hands-on experience and a realistic impression of the tools before you make your final choice.

There is really no tool needed to map your customer journey. Some pen and paper / markets and whoteboard will do. Once you have a framwork, perhaps you can translate it to a Google Slide or Figma for easy sharing and editing.
