Reading the third capitol – Identify digital capabilities – of “Principle of WEB API Design” (https://www.amazon.com/Principles-Web-Design), i discovered the JTBD (Job to be done) It can be an alternative to the user story. This concept is formuled by C. Christensen (author of The Innovator’s dilemma). The job is about the desidered outcome and the job stories identify the jobs to be done for every product. If the user story has the form:
- As a
- I want
- so that
the job story has the form:
- When (the trigger event)
- I want (the capability)
- So can (the outcome)
For example:
- When I find a product I want to buy
- I want to add the product to my shopping cart
- so I can include it in my order.
I like this approach; I feel it is more pragmatic than the user story.
