Hybrid working, the dream: I’m so productive, look how much work I’ve done. The reality: oh f*ck I’ve forgotten my charger again.

🧪 The experiment worked!🧪 Trying to make your A/L cover school holidays is hard. This half-term I've been WFHIO (WFH in Oxfordshire) at my dad's. I've done the start/end day parenting. He's done the bits in-between. 2 years ago this would have seemed ridiculous. Thanks Covid!

Here's one for a future UX / Content presentation... I got the following alert this morning. It's an example of great product design. The designers have thought about the battery life way more than me. They've built functionality to help extend the life of my fancy headphones...

PS That @mrjoe is a very clever chap and you should go and talk to him about your JTBD needs! 👨‍🎓

- Then finally, how to write better job stories and how to prioritise them. I don't think it would have worked well at my previous company. The (more experimental) work we're doing now will really benefit from it.

We also looked at: - The timeline as a way to build out context, understand triggers and group job stories. - The four forces influencing whether someone will 'hire' your product. - The strengths and weaknesses of JTBD. - Where JTBD is best used in the design process...
