Jobs-to-be-Done Masterclass
If you, and your organization can satisfy customer needs better than anyone else – the business is yours. The problem is that understanding customer needs are not that simple!
You can ask the customer – but what if the customers also don’t know what they need? (Hint, they often don’t know and need your help to figure it out!)
Be the magician and guru, that mysteriously fathoms what customers actually need – it’s possible when you use the right tools!
This Masterclass is a practical deep dive into understanding customer needs. In this two-day adventure, you will do what you learn and learn by doing. You will learn a CONDENSED VERSION of the well-known product management and marketing technique called Jobs-to-be-Done.
What you will learn?
In the masterclass, we will take you step-by-step through the entire Jobs-to-be-Done method and also provide you with templates and additional guidance on how to structure and execute good job interviews, how to ensure as little as possible conflict if your work with more than one job-performer and how to reach consensus fast and conflict-free. |

Jobs-to-be-Done is one of the three core techniques we use to (sometimes) go from an identified need to a fully functioning MVP (minimal viable product) in just one month; it’s the journey’s starting point but probably the most important thing to get right!
Customer Needs are figure-outable!
Our approach to jobs-to-be-done is simple and easy to learn, use, and teach! You can learn and practice everything you need to know in just two days (turning you into that guru that somehow fathoms what customer need.)
There are four things that you need to get right:
- You need to identify an area of focus quickly
- You need to identify the right person to speak to (this is more difficult than you think).
- You need to have a deep conversation that focuses on outcomes (not methods or tools). This conversation needs to be structured (otherwise you will forget things that are important!)
- You need to codify needs in an actionable format!
- If you do these four things right, your innovation or product development teams have a massive advantage over your competitors!
- This is more important than most people realize, and most organizations need some help to play their A-game and out-compete the opposition in today’s fast-moving digital world.
We have learned that those who out-compete the rest have learned to out-innovate them, and the good news is that it is possible to know precisely what you can do to (truly) satisfy customer needs. Solving customer problems and building innovative products and services is easy if you have the right start!
In the masterclass, we will take you step-by-step through the entire Jobs-to-be-Done method and also provide you with templates and additional guidance on how to structure and execute good job interviews, how to ensure as little as possible conflict if your work with more than one job-performer and how to reach consensus fast and conflict-free.
We will teach you how to do all this in a two-day practical workshop where you will apply as you learn and learn as you apply! After the masterclass, you can also write the Agile ADapT® Jobs-to-be-Done Exam and earn an internationally recognized credential!
