Empathy Map Template by Jeshua MacDonald
Empathy is a core part of human centred design. It helps us connect and engage with people directly, and can reveal valuable insight into the way they think, the values they hold, the way they do things and why.
An Empathy map is a design tool to help you better understand your users. It will help you to capture insights about your users behaviours and attitudes - from observable things like what they say and do - through to inferred thoughts and feelings. Getting these onto a canvas you help you to synthesise research observations and reveal deeper insights about a users needs, in a visual format.
With this canvas, don’t get too hung up on what goes where. E.g is that a “says or does?” The purpose of the exercise isn’t to correctly categorise, but to empathise and identify with the user.

Ready to get to the root of the problem? There’s no simpler way to do it than the 5 Whys technique. You’ll start with a simple question: Why did the problem happen? Then you’ll keep asking, up to four more times, until the answer becomes clear and you can work toward a solution. And Miro’s features enhance the approach: You can ask team members questions in chat or @mention them in comments, and use color-coded sticky notes to call out issues that are central to the problem at hand.

Collaborative brainstorming is an excellent method to facilitate a group of individuals in generating a diverse range of innovative concepts related to a specific problem. By encouraging participants to build upon each other's ideas, the process allows for rapid evolution and unexpected transformations.
