Jobs-to-be-Done - What Are Customers Really Hiring?
Jobs-to-be-Done (JTBD) is a framework developed by Clayton Christensen and Bob Moesta that focuses on the progress customers are trying to make in their lives. Instead of asking "who is the customer?" it asks "what job are they hiring this product to do?"
