JTBD Contexts

📌

A context helps you provide a tighter scope to your research. We often figure this out with stakeholders or through the interview process. In the latter case, what we learn could be used for determining quotas so we can slice and dice around contexts.

This prompt is something you can use to drive those quotas, or you can use one of the results to apply to a model to tighten the scope, i.e., make it more contextual and therefore possibly more relevant to your stakeholders

Prompt

System

Act as a(n) {{end user}} who is {{job}}. List {{n}} contexts in which you could be {{job}}.

Explanation

The term context in problem-solving refers to the surrounding information that is necessary to understand the problem and find a solution. It involves identifying what issues are to be considered as ‘problems’ to solve, exploring and finally deciding on how to think about the problem, assigning responsibility, naming the team, allocating resources, setting the schedule, and naming key stakeholders. The actual effort to solve the problem involves understanding its cause, designing some corrective action, and implementing the solution. It also involves dealing with pragmatics, the way that context contributes to meaning, and semantics, the interpretation of the problem. Observing what is going on in your environment; identifying things that could be changed or improved; diagnosing why the current state is the way it is and the factors and forces that influence it; developing approaches and alternatives to influence change; making decisions about which alternative to select; taking action to implement the changes; and observing impact of those actions in the environment
