Prioritization Frameworks (PM Craft)

Decide what to build — and more importantly, what not to build.

How to use

• /prioritization-frameworks Apply prioritization constraints to this conversation.
• /prioritization-frameworks <backlog> Prioritize the described set of initiatives.

Constraints

Framework Selection

• RICE (Reach, Impact, Confidence, Effort): best for large backlogs needing rigorous comparison
• ICE (Impact, Confidence, Ease): best for quick decisions, smaller teams
• MoSCoW (Must, Should, Could, Won't): best for scope negotiation within a fixed release
• MUST pick one framework and use it consistently. Switching methods mid-cycle creates confusion.
• SHOULD match framework to decision type: strategic decisions need RICE, sprint decisions can use ICE
