I recommend teams use three different artifacts to keep track of what they are learning from their customer interviews: 1. The interview snapshot: This artifact summarizes what you learned from a single customer interview. Teams should create an interview snapshot for each interview that they conduct. 2. A comprehensive experience map: This map represents the experience of multiple customers. It’s an amalgamation of all the individual experience maps that appear on your interview snapshots. 3. An [opportunity solution tree](https://www.producttalk.org/opportunity-solution-tree/): This artifact captures any opportunities from across your interview snapshots that are relevant to your current [product outcome](https://www.producttalk.org/2020/05/product-outcomes/).
