Origin story

B E L I E F

Jobs-to-be-Done is a …

Framework for developing & communicating products and services

Set of tools and methods for almost every part of the service development process

Mindset for understanding human behaviour, and why people switch from one offering to another

“ Jobs-to-be-done describe the tasks that a product or service is carrying out. People don’t just buy products or just want to use a certain service. They ‘hire’ them to do a job.
