Product teams are no stranger to a pivoting product roadmap. Nailing down customer needs while keeping internal opinions and influences at bay is not only exhausting, it’s unproductive. The endless war room battles that have your roadmap spinning out of control end now.

Imagine if everyone on your team agreed on your customer's needs, what needs aren’t being met, and how to solve for those needs. You'd have a stable target and common decision criteria, instead of a roadmap defined by opinions alone. Through our Jobs-to-be-Done training course, you can quantify which needs are most important, maintain a clear strategy, and encourage team alignment your around your customer.

Sign up for our free Online Course and we’ll teach you how to leverage Jobs-to-be-Done to make smarter choices about what to build. Your team will understand your customer’s ultimate goal and why they struggle to achieve it.

"Understanding the JTBD was 'realizing my full potential' was a critical first step, but thrv also showed us how to break down this goal/JTBD to identify unmet needs in achieving this goal. This is what we found really powerful about working with thrv; we can identify needs as metrics which we can measure and act on to help our customers/students."
