SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve? Product teams accumulate long backlogs of feature ideas with no structured way to decide what to build next, leading to scope decisions driven by opinion rather than evidence. This Skill evaluates each feature against impact, effort, risk, and strategic alignment, then produces a ranked top 5 with rationale and trade-offs. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Multi-criteria evaluation: Scores each feature on impact, effort, risk, and strategic alignment, optionally using Opportunity Score (Importance × (1 − Satisfaction)) and ICE/RICE scoring. - Ranked recommendations: Delivers a clear 1-5 ranking with rationale, key trade-offs, and an explicit record of what was deprioritized and why. - File-aware analysis: Reads user-provided spreadsheets, backlogs, or opportunity assessments directly as input. - Use Case: A product manager with 20 candidate features for the next quarter provides the backlog and product objective, and receives a defensible top 5 prioritization table to present at planning. ## Quick Start Prioritize this feature backlog against our Q3 retention objective and give me the top 5 with rationale.

FAQPage Schema
How do I prioritize a product feature backlog?▼

Evaluate each feature against impact, effort, risk, and strategic alignment with your product objective, then rank the results. This Skill walks through that evaluation and returns a top 5 list with rationale, trade-offs, and deprioritization notes.

What is the difference between ICE and RICE prioritization?▼

ICE scores initiatives as Impact × Confidence × Ease, where Impact can combine Opportunity Score with customer count. RICE adds Reach as a separate factor, making it better suited for larger teams that need to account for how many users each feature touches.

What is Opportunity Score in product management?▼

Opportunity Score comes from Dan Olsen's The Lean Product Playbook and equals Importance × (1 − Satisfaction), normalized to 0–1. High importance combined with low satisfaction signals the best customer problems to prioritize, focusing on opportunities rather than solutions.

Can I prioritize features from a spreadsheet or existing backlog file?▼

Yes, you can provide spreadsheets, backlogs, or opportunity assessments as input files, and they will be read and analyzed directly. You should also state your product objective and desired outcomes so the evaluation criteria are grounded.

When should I not use impact-effort style feature prioritization?▼

Scoring-based prioritization is less useful when you lack any customer data or a clear product objective, since the scores become guesses. In that case, gather customer importance and satisfaction data first so Opportunity Score and impact estimates have a basis.
