What you'll learn

Understand the Two Complementary JTBD Lenses

Learn when to use Jobs as Progress vs Jobs as Process — and how they work together to improve product and GTM decisions.

Use Jobs as Progress to Study Demand and Switching Behavior

Understand how qualitative JTBD helps identify market opportunities, customer motivations, and switching triggers.

Use Jobs as Process to Refine Product Strategy & Positioning

Learn how quantitative JTBD helps prioritize outcomes, identify segments, and sharpen differentiation.

How Tools Like DisplayR Enable Advanced Quantitative Methods

Learn how you too can learn to use tools like DisplayR to apply advanced quantitative JTBD research methods.

Why this topic matters

Most teams rely on one research method, creating blind spots. Some decisions require understanding why customers change behavior, while others require understanding how they accomplish the job. This session shows how combining Jobs as Progress (Qualitative) with Jobs as Process (Quantitative) leads to better product decisions, stronger positioning, and clearer opportunities.
