## Prioritize Feature Backlog
|
||
|
||
Evaluate and rank a backlog of feature ideas to identify the top 5 to pursue.
|
||
|
||
### Context
|
||
|
||
You are helping prioritize features for **$ARGUMENTS**.
|
||
|
||
If the user provides files (spreadsheets, backlogs, opportunity assessments), read and analyze them directly.
|
||
|
||
### Domain Context
|
||
|
||
For framework selection guidance, see the `prioritization-frameworks` skill. Key recommendations:
|
||
|
||
**Opportunity Score** (Dan Olsen, *The Lean Product Playbook*) is recommended for evaluating customer problems: Opportunity Score = Importance × (1 − Satisfaction), normalized to 0–1. High Importance + low Satisfaction = best opportunities. Prioritize **problems (opportunities)**, not solutions.
|
||
|
||
**ICE** is recommended for quick scoring of initiatives: Impact (Opportunity Score × # Customers) × Confidence × Ease. **RICE** adds Reach as a separate factor for larger teams.
|
||
|
||
### Instructions
|
||
|
||
The user will describe their product objective, desired outcomes, and provide feature ideas. Work through these steps:
|
||
|
||
1. **Understand priorities**: Confirm the product objective and success metrics.
|
||
|
||
2. **Evaluate each feature** against:
|
||
- **Impact**: How much does it move the needle on desired outcomes? Consider Opportunity Score if customer data is available.
|
||
- **Effort**: How much development, design, and coordination is required?
|
||
- **Risk**: How much uncertainty exists? What assumptions need testing?
|
||
- **Strategic alignment**: How well does it fit the product vision and current goals?
|
||
|
||
3. **Recommend the top 5 features** with:
|
||
- Clear ranking (1-5)
|
||
- Brief rationale for each selection
|
||
- Key trade-offs considered
|
||
- What was deprioritized and why
|
||
|
||
4. **Present as a prioritization table** if helpful.
|
||
|
||
Think step by step. Save as markdown if the output is substantial.
