What are Jobs?
The model is organised into three Jobs:
Job 1: Set the Direction - shape the purpose into options and a preferred way forward.
Job 2: Prove It Works - test assumptions and reduce risk before going big.
Job 3: Make It Happen - deliver at scale and make sure people actually use what you build.
What are Simple Rules?

What is a Play?
A Play is a method or tool that helps you apply a rule or complete a task. Use the recommended Plays first for simpler projects before exploring others.
