--------------------
**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.

- **Editor’s drafts:** <https://ujg.specs.openuji.org/>
- **Repository:** <https://github.com/openuji/spec-ujg>

**Who should participate:** People building journey/UX tooling, product analytics, workflow/process mining, graph data, and interoperability formats.

This group may publish Specifications.
