SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve? Product teams often struggle to articulate why customers should choose their product, producing vague or solution-first messaging. This Skill structures the value proposition process around the customer's job-to-be-done, producing a clear, segment-specific statement ready for marketing and sales use. ## Core Features & Use Cases - 6-Part JTBD Template: Walks through Who, Why, What Before, How, What After, and Alternatives to build a complete value proposition. - Positioning Output: Produces a concise 1-2 sentence value prop statement plus a positioning statement for marketing use. - Framework Comparison: Explains when to use this template versus Strategyzer's Value Proposition Canvas. - Use Case: A product manager launching a design tool for non-designers uses the template to define the target segment, current pain (complex tools, expensive designers), the solution's differentiators, and why customers would switch from alternatives like Photoshop or Fiverr. ## Quick Start Create a value proposition for my product using the 6-part JTBD template, covering the target customer, their problem, current alternatives, and our differentiation.

FAQPage Schema
How do I write a value proposition for a new product?

Use the 6-part JTBD structure: define Who the customer is, Why they have the problem, What Before (current situation), How your product solves it, What After (improved outcome), and Alternatives. Finish with a concise 1-2 sentence value prop statement.

What is the difference between this template and Strategyzer's Value Proposition Canvas?

This 6-part template starts with the customer rather than the product, handles one segment at a time, explicitly addresses alternatives, and produces a ready-to-use statement. Strategyzer's canvas suits detailed pains/gains decomposition for mature products with complex needs.

What inputs do I need to create a value proposition?

You need a product description with features, the target customer segment and their problems, competitive alternatives and current solutions, and customer insights or market data. The template works one segment at a time.

Should I create one value proposition for all customer segments?

No. Value propositions are segment-specific, so you should create a separate value prop for each distinct customer group. Different segments have different jobs-to-be-done, pain points, and alternatives.

When should I not use the 6-part JTBD value proposition template?

Avoid it when you need a detailed pains and gains decomposition for a mature product with complex customer needs. In that case, Strategyzer's Value Proposition Canvas provides the deeper structural breakdown required.
