Designing Empathy Map for a Value4Value podcast app
Scenario
You're a UX designer for a V4V podcast (Foutain.fm is a competitor). You're the only designer on a small team.
You and your team have vague, general ideas about who uses your app, but haven't done any real research or gotten into specifics. You need something that will help everyone have a more accurate and empathetic understanding of your users. You want to visualize user attitudes and behaviors, and then have a way to present your findings to your teammates.
Task
Choose a specific type of persona with a particular reason for using a V4V podcast app. Examples include a young person who wants to discover new contents, a salesman who is looking for entertainment when commuting, or a remote writer who needs inspirational content for his next article. Make an empathy map for the type of user you've selected.
You will want to conduct research to inform your empathy map, like user interviews, diary studies, or surveys.
Extra Credit: Create an additional empathy map for another type of user for the same app.
