JobsToBeDone?
Products and services are hired to get a job done,
when a situation creates demand: motivation to make progress.
Solutions change over time — Jobs don’t.

When I’m bored on the train,
I want to catch up on the news,
So I can make time go faster, stay updated on current events,

Newway:JobStory
#JTBD·CPH@cabgfx
When I

need an Overview of our Project,

I want to

see and update Tasks in the Process,
that are relevant to us,
in current and upcoming Phases,

So I can

plan my time,
feel e!cient and work productively,
and give others due notice and delivery.
You can track and measure these,
qualitatively and quantitatively
Find the central concepts and use the
actual words of your customers
All users in this segment need this
Case: Job story for Custom workflow app (Agency client)
#JTBD·CPH@cabgfx
Tips
• Refine a situation by adding contextual information
• Job Stories come from real people, not Personas
• Design modular Job Stories which features (solutions) can plug
Into
• Add Forces to motivations
• Job Stories don’t have to be from a specific point of view

#JTBD·CPH@cabgfx
Why?
“Big Hire”
High-level JTBD — long-term; stable over time
When I’ve had a long day,
I want to avoid cooking,
So I can save energy for my kids
#JTBD·CPH@cabgfx
When an important new customer signs up,
I want to be notified,
so I can start a conversation with them
How?
“Little Hire”
Low-level JTBD — short-term; evolves over time
