Jobs to be Done

Find the progress a person is trying to make, the forces around the switch, and the language they already use.

What is the person hiring this product to change?

Frame

A narrow job with a visible boundary

Use it when a request arrives as a feature, solution, or vague audience assumption rather than an evidenced job.

Input

An interview, customer reviews, sales notes, or a focused conversation with the product owner.

Outputs

  • A machine-readable JTBD corpus
  • Switch forces and evidence references
  • A one-page brief and messaging angles

Boundary

Creator estimates remain labeled as estimates. The skill does not turn synthetic evidence into customer research.

Invocation

See the decision change

When several agents are working, I need to see which decision is waiting for me so I can intervene before work drifts.

The feature becomes a progress statement with a situation and desired outcome.

  1. Feature request

    Users need an AI dashboard.

    When several agents are working, I need to see which decision is waiting for me so I can intervene before work drifts.

  2. Switch forces

    People want a better design tool.

    Push: generic output keeps returning. Pull: a repeatable review method. Habit: polishing the first draft. Anxiety: losing control of the final decision.
