The Jobs-to-be-Done framework as applied product methodology. Job statements, struggling moments, hire and fire criteria, the difference between feature-thinking and job-thinking. Honest about where JTBD adds clarity (discovery, prioritization, positioning) and where it becomes performative ritual (job-statement workshops that do not drive decisions, persona-theater disguised as JTBD).

Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.

What the file says

# Jobs-to-be-Done Framing

A senior product leader's playbook for the Jobs-to-be-Done framework as applied methodology. Job statements, struggling moments, hire and fire criteria, the difference between feature-thinking and job-thinking. Honest about where JTBD adds clarity and where it becomes performative ritual.

JTBD has become one of the more cited and less practiced frameworks in product. Teams cite it in strategy docs, run job-statement workshops, produce wall-sized artifacts, and continue building from feature requests and persona archetypes the next quarter. The methodology gets the credit; the practice gets skipped.

This skill is JTBD as applied product methodology. The framework's actual contribution: surfacing what users are trying to ACCOMPLISH (the job) rather than treating users as preference-aggregators (feature requests) or demographic archetypes (persona theater). When the framing is grounded in struggling moments and hire/fire criteria, it produces decisions; when it stops at the job-statement worksheet, it produces ritual.

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add rampstackco/claude-skills-pm/jtbd-framing@sha256:31dce3d89f9b078b

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261005.1e83d8f, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
