May 12, 2024 3 mins read

Ensure your product development efforts are laser-focused on achieving the outcomes that matter most to your customers and your business.

The Outcome-Driven Design module helps founders align their product strategy with the core job their customers are trying to get done. By working backwards from the desired outcome, this module enables founders to ruthlessly prioritize features, minimize time to market, and build products that deliver real value to their customers.

What’s Inside:

  1. Outcome-Driven Design Framework: A step-by-step process for defining your product’s core objective, key deliverables, critical processes, data requirements, and onboarding essentials.
  2. Jobs-to-be-Done (JTBD) Primer: An introduction to the JTBD theory and how it informs the Outcome-Driven Design approach.
  3. Ruthless Prioritization Toolkit: Strategies and templates for focusing your product development efforts on the features that directly contribute to your desired outcome.
  4. Alignment and Clarity Playbook: Techniques for getting your entire team on the same page about what you’re building and why.
