Track user journeys with intent context and friction signals. Use when instrumenting funnels or multi-step flows.

User Journey Tracking

Instrument flows to answer: "Why did users fail to complete their intended task?"

Core Principle

Every event should include intent context:

| Field | Example | Why | |-------|---------|-----| | job_name | "checkout" | Which user goal | | job_step | "payment" | Where in the journey | | job_progress | "3/4 steps" | How far they got |

Friction Signals

Detect when users are struggling:

| Signal | Detection | Indicates | |--------|-----------|-----------| | Rage clicks | 3+ clicks on same element within 1s | UI unresponsive | | Retry exhaustion | 3+ retries of same action | Persistent failure | | Quick abandonment | Exit within 5s of error | Lost trust | | Form thrashing | Repeated focus/blur on same field | Confusion | | Back loops | 3+ backs without progress | Lost/confused |

Key Events

| Event | When | |-------|------| | journey.started | User begins multi-step flow | | journey.step_complete | User advances to next step | | journey.friction | Friction signal detected | | journey.success | User completes goal | | journey.abandoned | User exits without completing |

Anti-Patterns

  • Tracking steps without job context (can't correlate)
  • Missing friction signals (only see drop-off, not why)
  • Not tracking "success with friction" (silent failures)
  • High-cardinality step names (use patterns, not IDs)

Implementation

Use Read tool to load references/user-focused-observability.md for detailed patterns.
