Haynes explained that ” The core idea behind jobs to be done is deceptively simple: Your customers are not buying your products; they’re hiring your product to get a job done. As we all know, product, sales, and marketing teams in every organization are trying to satisfy customer needs better than their competitors in the market. The way you satisfy customer needs is to develop, market, and sell with a product roadmap. Unfortunately, history is full of examples of failed product roadmaps that destroyed once-great companies. “

The solution is thrv – the only software that quantifies customer’s unmet needs. As a result, the product team gets actionable insights to prioritize product roadmap features. The result is accelerated growth with less risk.
