One of the great things about grid-like instruments is that they can be used for so many things due to flexibility and simplicity. In case you haven’t noticed yet, UXPressia belongs to the family of such tools. Thus, it can be used not only to map customer journeys but also to create other fun things. Like task grids. So if you're looking for a magic task grid maker, check under the cut, maybe it’s there!
What's a Task Grid?
Basically, a task grid is a way to get a perspective on the project you’re working on and all of its features be it present or those to be released in the future. Task grids can also be used to present day-to-day activities our customers perform in a very well detailed step-by-step manner. Have a look at this task analysis grid example.

From the very beginning, it already looks sort of like CJM: we have some kind of a persona named Jenny (not so many details about her, though) and good old rows and columns.
It starts off with a scenario that describes the task Jenny performs and then it’s broken down into subtasks with multiple sections. These sections show us some quotes and pain-points along with functionality - features we want to add in future releases of the product.
Here are some more examples to give you the idea.
