Quarterly Book Challenge

Jobs to be done
In 2018, I attended a multi-day workshop with JTBD creator Bob Moesta, where I delved into the JTBD framework, recruitment process, interview style, and debriefing techniques. This approach helps me understand not just what consumers do, but why they do it, focusing on the scenarios and energy driving their decisions to buy or use a product. I continue to incorporate this thinking into my design process.
