Is This a UI Problem or a Backstage Problem?
Support tickets are full of customers furious that "the app is broken" when they try to cancel a subscription. The product team is asked to redesign the cancellation screen. Investigation shows the cancel button itself works correctly and instantly — but the cancellation isn't actually processed for 5-7 days, because it routes through a manual retention-team review queue, and customers get charged again in the meantime.
- Would you reach for a journey map or a service blueprint to diagnose and present this problem, and why?
- Sketch, in words, the frontstage, backstage, and support-process layers relevant to this issue.
- What's the risk of proceeding with the requested screen redesign without first building this artifact?
- How would you pitch the actual fix to a stakeholder who specifically asked for a "redesigned cancel button"?
