2. Jobs to be Done is best described as a perspective through which new product ideas can be evaluated for
usefulness and viability. Understanding your customers’ Jobs to be Done helps determine what specific needs,
pain points, or problems to focus on during the innovation process.
The theory of Jobs to be Done was developed by Tony Ulwick and later by Clayton Christensen of Harvard
Business School as a complement to his theory of disruptive innovation. Jobs to be Done is a lens through which
companies can view their innovation initiatives. People buy products and services to get a “job” done, and the
products that are successful are those which help the customer get a job done faster, more easily and less
expensively. When a company understands in detail what a functional job is, it is more likely to be able to
create solutions to help the customer get a job done more effectively. When the customer can get a job done
more easily with a given product, the product will likely be more successful.
Use the templates to identify your customers’ most important jobs to be done and then rank order them to
determine the most important jobs to address as part of your innovation efforts.
