It is a technique used to create understanding and alignment. You can use an empathy map to collaboratively visualize and articulate what you know about a particular type of user. 

Typically an empathy map includes sections such as:

• Say: What are your users saying? What have we heard them say?
• Think: What are your users thinking? What are their goals, motivations, and concerns? What do they want to achieve?
