A customer journey map is a visualization of the process that a person goes through in order to accomplish a goal. It’s used for understanding and addressing customer needs and pain points.
To understand this concept better, start with this great article from the Nielsen Norman Group: https://www.nngroup.com/articles/customer-journey-mapping/
We have distilled this down to a Kanban board with all the required steps that can be set up in just seconds using our free template.
How to use this template:
Click on the USE TEMPLATE button and create your own board.
Next, invite your coworkers to join this board. There’s a lot to get done, so hopefully you are not on your own!
If you have stakeholders who need to know what’s going on, add them to this board as Visitors, so they will have a real-time view of progress without messing up anyone’s work.
When you team has joined you, open the tasks one by one, starting at the top of the To Do column.
Assign the task to yourself, or one of your team members. (A task can be assigned to more than one person.)
Mark it as IN PROGRESS so everyone knows the task is underway.
As each task gets worked on, people can contribute their ideas and documents right on the task card itself, so nothing gets lost.
We have added an exciting new feature: if you were previously using Trello, you can import that data, completely, into Kerika!
We have been testing this as a convenience feature and based upon positive feedback we have expanded this for everyone.
New users will be offered this as an option when they set up their Kerika accounts:
How new Kerika users can import boards from Trello
All users will have this option whenever they want to create a new Kerika board:
All users can import from Trello when creating a new Kerika board
We built this feature because we have heard from many people switched over from Trello and really liked Kerika’s user experience, features, and support. In the past they had to manually recreate their work inside Trello; now that’s all automated!
Everything is handled nicely: your Trello cards, lists, people, task details, etc. come over. Once you are done, a single click can then send out invitations to all your old Trello colleagues to join you in Kerika.
With our latest update we have made it easy for you to ensure that someone on a board team always sees your chat message, even if they are not assigned to that card.
The old rule was that everyone who is currently assigned to a card would get new chat pushed to them as emails. Now, you can make sure someone gets that email notification right away, even if they aren’t assigned to a particular card:
Directed chat
Using this feature is simple: just type the letter “@” anywhere in your chat message and Kerika offers all the matching suggestions:
Sending new chat
“@All” lets you push your chat to every Board Admin and Team Member — something you should do only rarely to avoid annoying people!
Try this feature and let us know if we can improve it.
We got feedback from some users after our last big release on how we could improve the user experience for folks who like to use the auto-numbering feature for Task Boards, and we have made these changes:
When you open a task, it’s number is shown (but can’t, of course, beedited)
Editing a Numbered Task
You can now search for a numbered task simply by typing “#number” in the Search box
We have done a bunch of things to help folks who need to work with multiple Kerika accounts: a common situation with consulting, outsourcing, or other professional services who need to work with clients who all have their own Kerika accounts.
It starts at the Home page, where we made it easier to filter you view of Boards and Templates to a subset of all the Kerika accounts you can access:
New Kerika Home
You can use the check boxes in the left navigation area to temporarily hide some accounts, if you want to narrow your view of boards and templates.
More importantly, you can now access boards from different Kerika accounts in the same session: you don’t need to log out of one account and log into another, to be able to quickly switch between boards from different accounts.
The Board Switcher, which shows all the boards you currently have open, across accounts:

It’s also easy to set your preferences on a per-account basis:
Account Preferences
The Dashboard (previously labeled “Views”) has new capabilities so you can get a great overview of all your projects, across all your accounts:
View Settings
This makes it as easy to filter your Views on desktop as we had previously done for mobile users.
We have redesigned the Task/Card details dialog to provide a more space-efficient layout, so you can see more of what you need without having to scroll:
Task Details
What used to be vertical tabs for Details, Chat, etc., is now a compact horizontal tab; this frees up a lot of space to see the details of the tags.
The other big change we made is to make the Priority setting separate from other Tags:
Task Priority flag
Clicking on the star will bring up your task priority options:
We hate to see anyone leave, of course, but that doesn’t stop us from improving the experience of users who want to close their Kerika accounts.
You can do this by selecting the My Profile option in the dialog that appears when you click on your avatar, on the top-right corner of the Kerika app:
My Profile
The My Profile pop-up dialog looks like this:
Leave Kerika
Click on the Leave Kerika button, and Kerika will email you a 6-digit numeric code that you can use to confirm that you really want to leave.
This extra step helps ensure that you really mean to do this, because the exit, once completed, cannot be reversed: all your old boards will be deleted permanently:
If you had signed up using your Google ID, your documents will still be in your own Google Drive.
If you had signed up using your Box ID, your documents will still be in your Box account.
But if you had signed up using your email, Kerika was storing your documents for you, and when you close your account we will delete your board and card attachments as well.
If you have a engineering background, you will be comfortable calling the items that show up on Task Boards as “cards” — a term that originated with Kanban production lines in Japan, and then found its way to Scrum boards everywhere.
But for everyone else, “card” is a somewhat obscure, even baffling term, and we would often get asked a fundamental question: “what should I put on a card?
To make this clearer to folks, we are renaming cards as Tasks, because that’s what a Task/Card is: something your team needs to get done.
This is really a cosmetic change: wherever you had previously seen the word “card” you will now see either “task” or the more generic “item”. The ADD A CARD button, for example, is now ADD NEW TASK:
And what had previously been called “tasks within cards” (or sub-tasks), is now more simply called a Checklist:
Card Checklist
Again, this is a change in terminology, not a change in functionality, but we hope it will make Kerika easier for the wide variety of users we have across the world, ranging from companies and governments all the way down to schoolkids.
We have added a new function to let Board Admins and Team Members move an entire column of tasks (cards) with a single action, within a single board or across multiple boards in the same account.
The function can be accessed by from the menu that appears as a pop-up when you click on the dots on the top of each column, as well as when you use the right-click mouse action on any cards:
Move entire column
If you choose the Move to another column action, a pop-up dialog appears that lets you choose the column you want to move these cards to:
Move to another column
If you choose the Move to another board action, a new dialog appears that lets you choose the board where you want these tasks to go to:
Move to another board
After selecting a destination board, you can then pick the exact location of the column you are moving, relative to the columns that are already on that board.
And, as you can see, from the screenshot, you are also able to move columns from boards in one account to another account where you are also an Account Member.
With our new user interface we made it easy to see how many tasks (cards) there are in a single column: the count appears at the top of each column.
Task counts for columns
