prioritization-advisor

Purpose

Guide product managers in choosing the right prioritization framework by asking adaptive questions about product stage, team context, decision-making needs, and stakeholder dynamics. Use this to avoid "framework whiplash" (switching frameworks constantly) or applying the wrong framework (e.g., using RICE for strategic bets or ICE for data-driven decisions). Outputs a recommended framework with implementation guidance tailored to your context.

This is not a scoring calculator—it's a decision guide that matches prioritization frameworks to your specific situation.

Key Concepts

The Prioritization Framework Landscape

Common frameworks and when to use them:

Scoring frameworks:

• RICE (Reach, Impact, Confidence, Effort) — Data-driven, requires metrics
• ICE (Impact, Confidence, Ease) — Lightweight, gut-check scoring
• Value vs. Effort (2x2 matrix) — Quick wins vs. strategic bets
• Weighted Scoring — Custom criteria with stakeholder input

Strategic frameworks:

• Kano Model — Classify features by customer delight (basic, performance, delight)
