Prioritisation is a challenging problem

Prioritisation is a challenging problem

When building a product, brainstorming ideas, finding ways for improvement, and collecting feedback can result in many good ideas.

However, it can be challenging to prioritise the order in which you tackle those ideas for several reasons:

  • It's more satisfying to work on pet ideas you'd use yourself instead of projects with a broad reach.
  • It's tempting to focus on clever ideas instead of those that impact your goals.
  • New ideas are more exciting than ideas you're confident about.

RICE: A tool for assessing priority

RICE: A tool for assessing priority

The RICE tool allows you to usefully compare different ideas in a consistent way.

RICE consists of four factors:

  • Reach: How many people will each project impact? —E.g. customers per quarter or transactions per month.
  • Impact: Estimate the impact on a person - high (2x), medium (1x) or low. (x0.5) ( E.g. how much will this project increase adoption?
  • Confidence: How confident are you in your estimates. Use a scale of high confidence (100%), medium (80%), or low confidence (50%)
  • Effort: Estimate how many "person-months" a project will require from all team members involved.

Create a RICE score

RICE can help when deciding between hard-to-compare ideas.

Once you have estimated the factors of RICE, combine them into a single score to compare projects at a glance. Sort the list of the initial scoring and re-evaluate.

Great interesting short snippets of informative articles. Highly recommended to anyone who loves information and lacks patience.

This app is LOADED with RELEVANT, HELPFUL, AND EDUCATIONAL material. It is creatively intellectual, yet minimal enough to not overstimulate and create a learning block. I am exceptionally impressed with this app!

Shankul Varada

I have only been using it for a few days now, but I have found answers to questions I had never consciously formulated, or to problems I face everyday at work or at home. I wish I had found this earlier, highly recommended!

Giovanna Scalzone

Brilliant. It feels fresh and encouraging. So many interesting pieces of information that are just enough to absorb and apply. So happy I found this.
