# Impact Effort Matrix

## When to use
- Use when the task clearly matches this PM activity.
- Use when a structured answer is more useful than a generic brainstorm.
- Use when the user needs explicit trade-offs, implications, or next steps.

## Instructions
1. Clarify the goal, user, or decision context.
2. Use the skill-specific lens below to structure the work.
3. Make assumptions explicit instead of hiding them.
4. End with a practical recommendation or next step.

### Skill-specific lens
1. Define what impact and effort mean in this context.
2. Classify initiatives into the four matrix zones.
3. Highlight quick wins, strategic bets, and avoid areas.
4. Recommend sequencing.

## Output
- Matrix placement
- Quick wins
- Major bets
- Avoid / delay
- Recommendation
