Prioritization Matrix

A structured method that scores and ranks initiatives or requirements using criteria that carry assigned weights.

Key Points

  • Define clear criteria (e.g., value, cost, risk, compliance) and assign weights that reflect strategic importance.
  • Score each option against the criteria; calculate a weighted total to determine the order of priority.
  • Provides a transparent, repeatable approach that helps align stakeholders and reduce prioritization bias.
  • Works well for backlog refinement, portfolio selection, and release planning; can be revisited as priorities change.

Example

A product team compares four features using criteria: customer value (40%), effort (20%), risk reduction (20%), and revenue impact (20%). They score each feature 1-5 per criterion, multiply by the weights, sum the results, and sort the features by the total to decide what to build next.

  4. Affinity diagram
