RT @golgolli How is #jtbd different from #ux? Can someone enlighten me please? [I want to know too. From someone who knows both. @rjs?]

@chriscbs @golgolli JTBD refers to the situation the user is in and how they define what is valuable.

@chriscbs @golgolli UX refers to the parts of the product or service that the user can contact to realize that value in the situation.

@chriscbs @golgolli So a UX person's job is to define the user-facing parts of the product/experience in order to fulfill the JTBD.

@chriscbs @golgolli "UX" profiles the parts of a product/service that the user sees/touches/uses. In contrast to the plumbing or backend.

@chriscbs @golgolli You can say UX is part of a product, but you wouldn't say the JTBD is. The JTBD is part of a person's situation.

@chriscbs @golgolli To sum up, UX is an attribute of the product and JTBD is an attribute of the person in a situation.

@chriscbs @golgolli Does that make sense? It might be a little too subtle to nail in a few tweets.

@rjs @golgolli Helped me a lot. Didn’t want to misrepresent UX with my own answer (think I get it, but not positive on UX vs UI).

@chriscbs @rjs to me, a good UX process starts with JTBD, but the term UX means diff things to diff ppl (prob part of the problem)

rjs Ryan Singer
@golgolli @chriscbs I find it more helpful to talk about specific design activities, like interface design, graphic design, etc.

May 21, 2013 #

rjs Ryan Singer
@golgolli @chriscbs Then you can say … ok I need to make this product. How do I design it? The JTBD informs that.

@rjs @golgolli A UX element should have to “earn” it’s way in thru the Job. How does it help the user make progress in this situation?

@rjs @golgolli Is there an order of operations? Uncover details (consumer/user trade-offs) of Jobs ur addressing and use to fuel UX design?

May 21, 2013 #

rjs Ryan Singer
@chriscbs @golgolli Yeah I think you want JTBD constraining the design, as opposed to some design concept constraining the JTBD.

rjs Ryan Singer
@chriscbs @golgolli Like, you want to start w/ the nail not the hammer, right.

@rjs @chriscbs thanks Ryan, that was really helpful. Though, what if you thought of UX as a process instead of the end product?

May 21, 2013 #

rjs Ryan Singer
@golgolli @chriscbs UX is slippery because it doesn't refer to a tangible end product. That's why I usually don't use the term "UX."

@rjs @chriscbs agreed, it tries to do too much and ends up confusing.
