Applies prioritization frameworks including RICE, ICE, Value vs Effort, and Kano model. Use when prioritizing features, managing backlog, making tradeoffs, or saying no gracefully. Based on Shreyas Doshi and Intercom frameworks.
Claude uses this skill when:
Formula:
RICE Score = (Reach × Impact × Confidence) / Effort
Reach: How many users affected (per quarter)
Impact: How much impact (0.25, 0.5, 1, 2, 3)
Confidence: How confident (%, use 80% if unsure)
Effort: How much work (person-months)
Example:
Feature: In-app notifications
Reach: 1000 users/quarter
Impact: 2 (high impact)
Confidence: 80%
Effort: 1 person-month
RICE = (1000 × 2 × 0.8) / 1 = 1600
High Value, Low Effort → DO FIRST (quick wins)
High Value, High Effort → DO NEXT (strategic)
Low Value, Low Effort → DO LATER (fill-ins)
Low Value, High Effort → DON'T DO (money pit)
# Feature Prioritization
## Feature 1: [Name]
- Reach: [X users/quarter]
- Impact: [0.25/0.5/1/2/3]
- Confidence: [X]%
- Effort: [X person-months]
- **RICE Score:** [calculate]
## Feature 2: [Name]
- Reach: [X users/quarter]
- Impact: [0.25/0.5/1/2/3]
- Confidence: [X]%
- Effort: [X person-months]
- **RICE Score:** [calculate]
## Priority Order
1. [Feature with highest RICE]
2. [Feature with second RICE]
3. [Feature with third RICE]
Score Each Feature:
Prioritize:
Shreyas Doshi:
"Saying no is the most underrated PM skill."
Intercom:
"Without prioritization, everything feels urgent and nothing gets done well."
