Empathy Map by Pino de Francesco
An empathy map is a tool used in design thinking and user-centered design to help designers, product managers, and other stakeholders understand and empathize with the perspective of end users.
The empathy map is a visual representation of the user's thoughts, feelings, behaviors, and pain points in relation to a particular problem or challenge.
The empathy map is divided into four quadrants:
Thoughts: What is the user thinking and saying to themselves?
Feelings: What emotions is the user experiencing?
Actions: What is the user doing?
Pain Points: What are the user's pain points and challenges?
The empathy map is usually created through a combination of user research, such as interviews and surveys, and observation of users in their natural environment. The empathy map helps to provide a more complete picture of the user's experience and can be used to identify areas for improvement or to validate assumptions about the user's needs and motivations.

Card Sorting Template
Works best for:
Desk Research, UX Design, Brainstorming
Card sorting is a brainstorming technique typically used by design teams but applicable to any brainstorm or team. The method is designed to facilitate more efficient and creative brainstorms. In a card sorting exercise, you and your team create groups out of content, objects, or ideas. You begin by labeling a deck of cards with information related to the topic of the brainstorm. Working as a group or individuals, you then sort the cards in a way that makes sense to you, then label each group with a short description. Card sorting allows you to form unexpected but meaningful connections between ideas.
