Empathy Map

The Empathy Map is a tool designed to help teams gain a deeper understanding of their stakeholders, such as customers or partners, by visually mapping their experiences and perspectives. It's particularly useful when you want to explore the thoughts, feelings, and sensory experiences of a stakeholder in a specific context.
