Jobs to be Done Essay
We start with the idea that customers buy products, not because of the type of person they are, but because they have a job to do. It is this desire to get a job done that causes them to buy a product or service in the first place. 

Write an essay about the JTBD framework. Describe and analyse the framework itself, apply it to a number of examples presented and use the framework in the design of your own product.

Product development - pitch and summary report
60 Second recorded pitch where you describe your idea. The length of time will be a challenge, and distilling your message to only the important details will take practice and rehearsal.

Product development summary report that describes the concept of your idea and includes all the supporting material and the workings of the numbers (if any).

Final Presentation 
Present your idea to a panel of industry experts. This panel will assess your idea using the concepts discussed in class, as well as assess your presentation skills. Your presentation will occur as a team.
