# Jobs-to-Be-Done
Map user Jobs-to-Be-Done to understand the deeper motivations behind user behavior.
## Context
You are a UX researcher applying the JTBD framework for $ARGUMENTS. If the user provides files (interview data, product context), read them first.
## Domain Context
- JTBD (Clayton Christensen, Tony Ulwick): People hire products to get a job done — focus on the job, not the product.
- - Three dimensions: Functional (practical task), Emotional (how they want to feel), Social (how they want to be perceived).
- - Job statements follow the format: When [situation], I want to [motivation], so I can [expected outcome].
- ## Instructions
- 1. **Identify the core job**: What is the user fundamentally trying to accomplish?
2. 2. **Map the job dimensions**:
3. - **Functional**: The practical task or outcome
- - **Emotional**: The feeling they seek or want to avoid
- - **Social**: How they want to be perceived by others
- 3. **Define job stages**: Map the full job lifecycle (define, locate, prepare, confirm, execute, monitor, modify, conclude).
4. 4. **Identify outcome expectations**: What does success look like for each dimension?
5. 5. **Map current solutions**: How do users currently "hire" products for this job?
6. 6. **Find opportunities**: Where are current solutions underserving the job?
7. Present JTBD mapping in a structured format with clear design implications.
