Service blueprint

← Back to Design craft

 

What it is: a view of how the internal company teams and processes act together to create the experience customers, clients, and others have.

When to use it:

  • Service blueprints help highlight how teams two or more degrees removed from the user action still influence the outcome

  • Seeing the relationship between the workstreams can help uncover dependencies and details of a requirement that are key to success

How to use it:

  • Start broad, gather all the pieces you know

  • Document gaps in knowledge so we don’t forget we don’t know

  • As the project progresses, or in dedicated workshops, add details and questions

  • As project decisions are made, use this as a tool to identify knock on effects

 
 

This works great with

  • Cross-project views - service blueprints gives you a cross-section snapshot of your flow and who is involved in making it happen. Cross-project views give you a way to catch which of those back-end processes you need to pay attention to
