Proposed Group: User Journey Graph (UJG) Community Group
The User Journey Graph (UJG) Community Group has been proposed by Seva Dolgopolov:
Problem: User journeys are often documented as diagrams and narratives, but they rarely get implemented as designed. Design and Product lack a precise artifact they can follow 1:1, and Engineering lacks a clear way to validate whether the implementation matches the intended journey.
Mission: The User Journey Graph (UJG) Community Group will define an interoperable, machine-readable representation of user journeys so that design, PM, and engineering can share the same explicit “source of truth” and verify alignment over time.
Scope: Define the core UJG model and modular specifications (e.g., serialization), plus guidance and examples for exchanging, reviewing, versioning, and validating journeys across tools.
- Editor’s drafts: https://ujg.specs.openuji.org/
- Repository: https://github.com/openuji/spec-ujg
Who should participate: People building journey/UX tooling, product analytics, workflow/process mining, graph data, and interoperability formats.
This group may publish Specifications.
You are invited to support the creation of this group. Once the group has a total of 5 supporters, it will be launched and people can join to begin work. In order to support the group, you will need a W3C account.
Once launched, the group will no longer be listed as “proposed”; it will be in the list of current groups.
If you believe that there is an issue with this group that requires the attention of the W3C staff, please send us email on site-comments@w3.org
