# Backlog Prioritization

Order backlog items using data-driven prioritization frameworks.

## When to Use
- Sprint planning needs ordered backlog
- Stakeholder requests priority ranking
- Feature roadmap ordering

## Quick Reference

### Frameworks

#### RICE Score
```
Score = (Reach x Impact x Confidence) / Effort

Reach: Users affected per quarter
Impact: 0.25 | 0.5 | 1 | 2 | 3
Confidence: 0.5 | 0.8 | 1.0
Effort: Person-months
```

#### MoSCoW
- **Must Have:** Critical, non-negotiable
- **Should Have:** Important, not vital
- **Could Have:** Nice to have
- **Won't Have:** Out of scope

#### Value vs Effort
```
High Value + Low Effort = Quick Wins (do first)
High Value + High Effort = Strategic (plan carefully)
Low Value + Low Effort = Fill-ins (if time permits)
Low Value + High Effort = Time sinks (avoid)
```

### Workflow
1. Read PBIs from `team-artifacts/pbis/`
2. Apply selected framework
3. Output ordered list with scores
4. Update PBI frontmatter priority

### Output
- Priority field: Numeric 1-999 (not High/Med/Low)
- Console: Ordered table with scores

## Task Planning Notes

- Always plan and break many small todo tasks
- Always add a final review todo task to review the works done at the end to find any fix or enhancement needed
