Abstract

Design disciplines are increasingly using journeys as a tool that addresses multiple purposes. Also known as Journey Maps, User Journey, Customer Journey, Ex- perience Journey, or Service Journey, they represent the interaction of a person with a product or service step-by-step. This compilation of data reveals valuable insights for companies, organizations, decision-makers, managers, and service-owners to empa- thize with their users, triangulate their pain points and identify opportunities for im- provement and innovation. Consequently, it is easy to understand the popularity of this method. This paper describes the case of the use of journeys in the easyRights project11 and presents their value as boundary objects; as a common artifact that fa- cilitated the interaction of members of various groups of stakeholders, affording col- laborative knowledge collection, generation, and distribution –traditionally attributed to boundary objects–, but also complementary strategies –like the identification of knowledge opportunities, the management of knowledge generation and the concur- rence around such knowledge.
