More Customer Understanding Jobs to Be Done (JTBD) Framework
🧠 Jobs to Be Done?
JTBD didn't ask...
❌ "Who are the customers?"
But ask...
✅ "customer" hire "goods or services, what do we go to do in his life better?"
Product = a tool used by the customer to solve the problem (Job) in his life.
🔍 Easy to understand example:
🍔 Customers buy burgers = to eat?
Not always...
• Some people "hire burgers" because they are hungry.
• Some people "hire burgers" late at night because no other store is open (job = last resort)
• Some people "hire burgers" for dating reasons.
• Some people "hire burgers" to solve loneliness because they eat alone and feel better.
You see, the same product = does not act the same, depending on what "Job" is.
🔧 Simple JTBD structure:
"When I _ _ _ (situation),
I want to _ _ _ (motivation),
So I can _ _ _ (goal or result). "
Example:
"When I was hungry but rushed to work,
I want an easy-to-eat meal.
So that I don't waste my time in the morning. "
→ Show that Job = "waste-free morning recharge."
→ This may lead to goods like ready-to-eat box rice / energy bar / ready-to-drink bottle coffee.
🎯 Why is JTBD important?
1. ✅ Understand the customer in-depth.
→ Not just gender / age / career, but understanding "deep motivation."
2. ✅ Design products / services to really solve the problem.
→ Because you know what customers will "hire it to do."
3. ✅ used to strategize communication more closely than before.
→ Say it in a way that customers "feel yes at all," not just "beautiful but irrelevant."

You can communicate better, design more accurately, and build a brand that people remember.
