Summary

Improving user onboarding with Jobs-to-be-Done insights requires understanding the push, strengthening the pull, overcoming inertia and calming anxiety. To put it simply, a great onboarding experience is one that proves to new users that your product will help them do the job that they want. This involves being aware of pain points, explaining the benefit of each onboarding task, tailoring onboarding for all stakeholders, providing guidance for complicated tasks, and reassuring or skipping highly visible onboarding steps. By doing so, you can shorten the path to success for complex products, increase the pull of your product, and help new users find value as soon as possible.
