Jtbd Framing

Category: Product  ·  Sub-category: discovery  ·  Last updated:
The Jobs-to-be-Done framework as applied product methodology. Job statements, struggling moments, hire and fire criteria, the difference between feature-thinking and job-thinking. Honest about where JTBD adds clarity (discovery, prioritization, positioning) and where it becomes performative ritual (job-statement workshops that do not drive decisions, persona-theater disguised as JTBD). Triggers on jobs-to-be-done, JTBD, job statements, struggling moments, hire criteria, fire criteria, switch triggers, functional emotional social jobs, outcome-driven innovation. Also triggers when a team is over-relying on feature-request lists or persona archetypes that do not drive product decisions, when a positioning conversation needs the framing JTBD provides, or when discovery is producing outputs that do not connect to product strategy.
