Arriving at latch and flip-flop circuit diagrams

I understand how to find the characteristic equation of e.g. a JK flip-flop by going from truth table -> k-map -> boolean equation Qnext = JQ' + K'Q. I don't understand how the circuit diagram for one of these flip-flops (first image https://www.allaboutcircuits.com/textbook/digital/chpt-10/j-k-flip-flop/) follows from either the truth table or the characteristic equation.

Is it possible to arrive at the circuit diagram beginning with the truth table or characteristic equation?
