Jobs-to-be-Done Framework
We wanted to understand our product's role in our users' lives and discover opportunities to improve the overall user experience. We first outlined the type of customer we wanted to interview. The team decided to contact users that were enrolled in the protection plan and had download the app within the past 60 days.

Our Users
After our interview debriefs we started to see patterns within our users that helped us identify user persons. Based on their motivations, goals, and frustrations, we grouped users into three distinct user types.

The Reactive Customer
This customer’s device is already damaged, and they’re using the app to estimate the cost of filing a claim. It might be some time before they have the funds to replace it.

The Plan-Ahead Customer
This customer values the peace of mind that comes with device protection and is proactive by downloading the app prior to having an issue.

The Self-Help Customer
This customer uses the app to learn about their device and has the confidence to troubleshoot issues on their own with the aid of device guides and articles.
