• What is JTBD?
• Define your customer’s Job-To-Be-Done
• Identify your Job Steps
• Identify the Customer Needs within each Job Step
• Quantify the Importance and Satisfaction of the Customer
Needs to find the unmet Needs
• Determine features based on Opportunity Score = Biggest
underserved Needs
• JTBD is an idea that people buy products and
services to get jobs done.
• It links a company’s value creation activities to
customer-defined metrics (needs)
• Jobs are independent of any product or service
• Jobs are stable over time
– “Start with the customer experience and work back toward the technology.” – Steve Jobs
– “People don’t want a quarter-inch drill, they want a quarter-inch hole” –Theodore Levitt
• What is your customer trying to with or without your
product/service? It’s agnostic to a solution and is
nearly timeless.
• Examples of Jobs-To-Be-Done:
– Ensure my kids are not late to things
– Create a way to pay organizations whatever, whenever, and however I want
– Ensure I don’t miss out on any business
• If an existing product goes away, will the job go
away? If yes, it is not a job.
• Was anyone trying to do this job 100 years ago?
• Does your customer wake up some mornings,
thinking about getting this job done? For example,
few people wake up thinking, “I need to manage the
data around my customers,” but many people wake
up thinking, “I can’t let this customer churn!”
• So what JOB is your startup helping people do?
• Pick the most important job for the customer that
will get the most value of the job being done (and
possible pay for it)
• Every job is a process that has a beginning, a
middle, and an end. They can be broken down into
different steps that fall into six main categories:
ConcludeModifyMonitor
ExecuteDefine Prepare
1. Define- What must be defined, selected, decided to ensure the job is
successfully executed?
2. Preparation – What must be prepared, confirmed, validated to execute the
job correctly?
3. Execution- What tasks must be executed to start the job?
4. Monitoring- What inputs, outputs, or processes must be monitored during
execution
5. Modify- What inputs, outputs, or processes need to be modified during
execution
6. Conclusion- What decision need to be made to conclude the job? What
output is required to conclude the job? What tasks need to be done to
prepare to execute the job again?

• Pick one job step ask the interviewee:
– “What makes this job step, difficult, frustrating, or time-consuming
• Try to uncover 1-2 Customer Needs within a Job Step
• The Customer Need is a metric that customer uses to measure the
speed and accuracy of executing a job step. There are 3 elements:
1. A direction of improvement (usually “minimize”)
2. A metric (usually “time” or “likelihood”)
3. A goal that relates to the job step. It is independent of any solution
Job: Sell a car
Job Step: Define- “Access the vehicle's market value”
Customer Need: Minimize the time it takes to find my car’s market value
• Importance: a measure of how important a customer
need is to the customer
• Satisfaction: a measure of how satisfied customers are
that they can achieve the goal of the Customer Need
• Measure on 5-point score: not important, somewhat
important, important, very important, and extremely
important
• Opportunity Score: Importance + (Importance –
Satisfaction)
JTBD helps a company innovate. It helps it create products
and services that let consumers perform a job faster, better,
more conveniently, and/or less expensively than before.
To be innovative, companies must know what outcomes
customer are trying to achieve (what metrics they use to
determine how well a job is getting done) and figure out
which technologies, products, and features will best satisfy
the important outcomes that are currently underserved.
• The cost incurred in making an economic exchange
of some sort, or the cost of participating in a market:
– Search and information costs
– Bargaining costs
– Policing and enforcement
Will other party sticks to terms of
agreement/contract?
If not, what is the appropriate
actions (legal)?
Is it in the market?
Is it at the best price?
Can we come to an acceptable
agreement?
Do we need contracts?

Editor's Notes

  • #4 Consumers have used records, cassettes, CDs, iPod, and streaming apps to execute the jobs of curating and discovering music. While products change over time, the customer’s job will not. It is a methodology to help a company innovate
  • #8 A job map provides the structure needed to ensure all customer needs are captured. Here you are looking for unique insights as to what is causing your customer difficulty, frustrating, or time-consuming. Why doesn’t this just work? What is this so hard? Why is this taking so long?

  • #13 If 95 percent of the respondents gave a 4 or 5 for importance, the importance score would be 9.5 If 32 percent of the respondents gave a 4 or 5 for satisfaction, the satisfaction score would be 3.2 Opportunity Score = 9.5 + (9.5-3.2) = 15.8
  • #14 Opportunity Score: Importance + (Importance – Satisfaction)
  • #15 Opportunity Score: Importance + (Importance – Satisfaction)
  • #18 How can we decrease the transaction costs? Answer: By answering the above questions and making it transparent and accountable Social network analog: How doe we make links easier?
