Jobs-to-be-Done
People don’t simply buy products or services; they pull them into their lives to make progress. We call this progress the “job” they are trying to get done, and understanding this opens a world of innovation possibilities.
The theory of Jobs-to-be-Done is a framework for a better understanding of customer behavior. Jobs Theory goes beyond superficial market demographics or product attributes categories to expose the functional, social, and emotional dimensions that explain why customers make the choices they do.
