Call for Participation in User Journey Graph (UJG) Community Group
The User Journey Graph (UJG) Community Group has been launched:
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.

Who should participate: People building journey/UX tooling, product analytics, workflow/process mining, graph data, and interoperability formats.
This group may publish Specifications.

This is a community initiative. This group was originally proposed on 2026-01-20 by Seva Dolgopolov. The following people supported its creation: Seva Dolgopolov, Jessica Skalmowski, Yannis Evangelou, Mussie Haile and Javanshir Alammadli. W3C’s hosting of this group does not imply endorsement of the activities.
The group must now choose a chair. Read more about how to get started in a new group and good practice for running a group.
We invite you to share news of this new group on social media and other channels.
