The image that I put with this post is actually a map of the Munich subway system. It was complicated enough to capture the point that I was trying to make: a job map can have a great deal of detail. There is not necessarily a graphical representation of a job map (that I've seen). More often the customer's tasks are captured using words. The reason for this is that in order to build a job map you really have to interview the customer at each step of the process in order to gain a true understanding of what they were thinking at that point. Don't look on this as though a graphical map is missing from the technique, rather think of it as allowing you to adapt to the specific customer and the specific job.

Would it be possible to post a high resolution image of the job map in this post? I would love to see what it looks like when completed. As always, very informative.
