Prioritization Framework Expert

Overview

A comprehensive reference to 9 prioritization frameworks with automated scoring, ranking, and guidance on which framework to use in which situation. The core principle: prioritize problems (opportunities), not features. Features are solutions to problems. If you prioritize features directly, you skip the step of understanding whether the problem is worth solving.

Core Capabilities

• 9 frameworks — RICE, ICE, Opportunity Score, Eisenhower, Impact vs Effort, Risk vs Reward, Kano, Weighted Decision Matrix, MoSCoW (full definitions, formulas, and worked examples in references/frameworks-catalog.md).
• Framework selection — a decision tree maps the thing you are prioritizing (problems, features, personal tasks, high-uncertainty bets) to the right method.
• Automated scoring — prioritization_scorer.py ranks items for RICE, ICE, Opportunity, MoSCoW, and Weighted Decision Matrix.
• Two-step discipline — prioritize problems first (Opportunity Score), then prioritize solutions (RICE/ICE).

When to Use

• Backlog Grooming -- Too many items, need to rank them objectively.
• Quarterly Planning -- Deciding which initiatives to invest in.
• Stakeholder Alignment -- Need a structured way to resolve competing priorities.
• Feature Triage -- Quick sorting of a long list into actionable categories.
