Feature prioritization is the process of ranking and organizing features in a product based on customer value, business goals, the amount of time and cost, and technical viability. It is practically not feasible to include all the decided features in the first version of a product, hence it is important to understand which features need to be and can be achieved in the first version or Minimum Viable Product (MVP).
We are using RICE method to understand the prioritization of our 18 decided features.
Reach: how many people will this impact? (Estimate within a defined time period. Considering values in range of 1000-5000)
Impact: how much will this impact each person? (Massive = 3x, High = 2x, Medium = 1x, Low = 0.5x, Minimal = 0.25x.)
Confidence: how confident are you in your estimates? (High = 100%, Medium = 80%, Low = 50%.)
Effort: how many man-efforts will this take? (using values in range of 10-50. Taking 50 as highest rfforts required.)
The prioritization score is calculated based on simple formula: Reach * Impact * Confidence / Effort
