By investigating the jobs users are trying to get done with your products, we can develop a system of verifiable and actionable outcomes. Success is measured by the degree in which we help users achieve these intended outcomes. You can't ask a user about a product that doesn't exist. You can ask them about the jobs they need to get done. Which makes more sense?
