  445. <p name="7e8d" id="7e8d" class="graf graf--p graf--leading">I’ve written about <a href="http://alanklement.blogspot.com/2013/03/the-problem-with-user-stories-and-whats.html" data-href="http://alanklement.blogspot.com/2013/03/the-problem-with-user-stories-and-whats.html" class="markup--anchor markup--p-anchor" rel="noopener" target="_blank">the problem with user stories before</a>. At the time, I found it better to just have the team talk over proposed changes to the product. This worked great when the team had gelled and the product is very mature; however, now I’m working with a new team and building a product from scratch. In this case, because our canvas is blank, we are having trouble getting on the same page when it comes to customer motivations, events and expectations. <strong class="markup--strong markup--p-strong">But today, things have turned around. </strong>I’ve come across a great way to use the jobs to be done philosophy to help define features.<br>I call them <em class="markup--em markup--p-em">Job Stories.</em></p>
  446. <h4 name="5bb2" id="5bb2" class="graf graf--h4 graf-after--p"><strong class="markup--strong markup--h4-strong">Where It Comes From</strong></h4>
  447. <p name="66a7" id="66a7" class="graf graf--p graf-after--h4">The idea comes from the <a href="http://insideintercom.io/the-dribbblisation-of-design/" data-href="http://insideintercom.io/the-dribbblisation-of-design/" class="markup--anchor markup--p-anchor" rel="noopener" target="_blank">really smart people at intercom</a>. Here is what is they say:</p>
  448. <blockquote name="2e55" id="2e55" class="graf graf--blockquote graf-after--p"><em class="markup--em markup--blockquote-em">We frame every design problem in a Job, focusing on the triggering event or situation, the motivation and goal, and the intended outcome:</em></blockquote>
  449. <blockquote name="56ff" id="56ff" class="graf graf--blockquote graf-after--blockquote"><em class="markup--em markup--blockquote-em">When _____ , I want to _____ , so I can _____ .</em></blockquote>
  450. <blockquote name="edc9" id="edc9" class="graf graf--blockquote graf-after--blockquote"><em class="markup--em markup--blockquote-em">For example: When an important new customer signs up, I want to be notified, so I can start a conversation with them.</em></blockquote>
  451. <p name="a1a8" id="a1a8" class="graf graf--p graf-after--blockquote">It’s not referred to as a <em class="markup--em markup--p-em">Job Story </em>in the article, but I’ll call it that so I can easily reference it in the future.<br>The article doesn’t spend a whole lot of time with the concept, so I’ll talk about why I like it and why it’s better than <em class="markup--em markup--p-em">User Stories.</em></p>
  452. <h4 name="7324" id="7324" class="graf graf--h4 graf-after--p"><strong class="markup--strong markup--h4-strong">The Problem (Again) With User Stories</strong></h4>
  453. <p name="cb1d" id="cb1d" class="graf graf--p graf-after--h4">Summed up, the problem with user stories is that it’s too many assumptions and doesn’t acknowledge causality. When a task is put in the format of a user story ( <strong class="markup--strong markup--p-strong">As a [type of user], I want [some action], so that [outcome] </strong>) there’s no room to ask ‘why’ — you’re essentially locked into a particular sequence with no context.</p>
  454. <p name="47e7" id="47e7" class="graf graf--p graf-after--p">Here’s how I see the format:</p>

  456. <p name="6641" id="6641" class="graf graf--p graf-after--figure">The first problem is that we start with a <em class="markup--em markup--p-em">Persona, </em>which is a <a href="http://alanklement.blogspot.com/2013/03/focus-on-relationships-skip-personas.html" data-href="http://alanklement.blogspot.com/2013/03/focus-on-relationships-skip-personas.html" class="markup--anchor markup--p-anchor" rel="noopener" target="_blank">very bad idea</a>, and then plop in an action which we <strong class="markup--strong markup--p-strong">think </strong>should be taken in order to achieve the expected outcome. As I’ve marked in the above image, there’s really a disconnect between the action and persona.<br>Here, let’s look at some existing User Stories:</p>

  458. <p name="eacd" id="eacd" class="graf graf--p graf-after--figure">In the above chart, when someone reads <em class="markup--em markup--p-em">moderator </em>or <em class="markup--em markup--p-em">estimator </em>is that really adding anything?
