When This Skill Activates

Managing product backlog
Making tradeoff decisions
Saying no gracefully

Core Frameworks

1. RICE Framework (Source: Intercom)

Formula:

RICE Score = (Reach × Impact × Confidence) / Effort

Reach: How many users affected (per quarter)
Impact: How much impact (0.25, 0.5, 1, 2, 3)
Confidence: How confident (%, use 80% if unsure)
Effort: How much work (person-months)

Example:

Feature: In-app notifications

Reach: 1000 users/quarter
Impact: 2 (high impact)
Confidence: 80%
Effort: 1 person-month

RICE = (1000 × 2 × 0.8) / 1 = 1600

2. Value vs Effort Matrix

High Value, Low Effort  → DO FIRST (quick wins)
High Value, High Effort → DO NEXT (strategic)
Low Value, Low Effort   → DO LATER (fill-ins)
Low Value, High Effort  → DON'T DO (money pit)

Action Templates

Template: RICE Scoring

# Feature Prioritization

## Feature 1: [Name]
- Reach: [X users/quarter]
- Impact: [0.25/0.5/1/2/3]
- Confidence: [X]%
- Effort: [X person-months]
- **RICE Score:** [calculate]

## Feature 2: [Name]
- Reach: [X users/quarter]
- Impact: [0.25/0.5/1/2/3]
- Confidence: [X]%
- Effort: [X person-months]
- **RICE Score:** [calculate]

## Priority Order
1. [Feature with highest RICE]
2. [Feature with second RICE]
3. [Feature with third RICE]

Quick Reference

📊 Prioritization Checklist

Score Each Feature:

Reach (how many users)
Impact (how much value)
Confidence (how sure)
Effort (how much work)

Prioritize:

Calculate RICE scores
Order by score
Say no to low scorers

Key Quotes
