name: prioritization-advisor argument-hint: "[decision context]" description: Choose a prioritization framework based on stage, team context, and stakeholder needs. Use when deciding between RICE, ICE, value/effort, or another scoring approach. intent: >- Guide product managers in choosing the right prioritization framework by asking adaptive questions about product stage, team context, decision-making needs, and stakeholder dynamics. Use this to avoid "framework whiplash" (switching frameworks constantly) or applying the wrong framework (e.g., using RICE for strategic bets or ICE for data-driven decisions). Outputs a recommended framework with implementation guidance tailored to your context. type: interactive best_for:

"Choosing the right prioritization framework for a team or stage"

# Prioritization Framework Recommendation **Based on your context:** - **Product Stage:** [From Q1] - **Team Context:** [From Q2] - **Decision-Making Need:** [From Q3] - **Data Availability:** [From Q4] --- ## Recommended Framework: [Framework Name] **Why this framework fits:** - [Rationale 1 based on Q1-Q4] - [Rationale 2] - [Rationale 3] **When to use it:** - [Context where this framework excels] **When NOT to use it:** - [Limitations or contexts where it fails] --- ## How to Implement ### Step 1: [First implementation step] - [Detailed guidance] - [Example: "Define scoring criteria: Reach, Impact, Confidence, Effort"] ### Step 2: [Second step] - [Detailed guidance] - [Example: "Score each feature on 1-10 scale"] ### Step 3: [Third step] - [Detailed guidance] - [Example: "Calculate RICE score: (Reach × Impact × Confidence) / Effort"] ### Step 4: [Fourth step] - [Detailed guidance] - [Example: "Rank by score; review top 10 with stakeholders"] --- ## Example Scoring Template [Provide a concrete example of how to use the framework] **Example (if RICE):** | Feature | Reach (users/month) | Impact (1-3) | Confidence (%) | Effort (person-months) | RICE Score | |---------|---------------------|--------------|----------------|------------------------|------------| | Feature A | 10,000 | 3 (massive) | 80% | 2 | 12,000 | | Feature B | 5,000 | 2 (high) | 70% | 1 | 7,000 | | Feature C | 2,000 | 1 (medium) | 50% | 0.5 | 2,000 | **Priority:** Feature A > Feature B > Feature C --- ## Alternative Framework (Second Choice) **If the recommended framework doesn't fit, consider:** [Alternative framework name] **Why this might work:** - [Rationale] **Tradeoffs:** - [What you gain vs. what you lose] --- ## Common Pitfalls with This Framework 1. **[Pitfall 1]** — [Description and how to avoid] 2. **[Pitfall 2]** — [Description and how to avoid] 3. **[Pitfall 3]** — [Description and how to avoid] --- ## Reassess When - Product stage changes (e.g., PMF → scaling) - Team grows or reorganizes - Stakeholder dynamics shift - Current framework feels broken (e.g., too slow, ignoring important factors) --- **Would you like implementation templates or examples for this framework?**

Application

Question 1: Product Stage

Question 2: Team Context

Question 4: Data Availability

Output: Recommend Prioritization Framework

Examples

Example 1: Good Framework Match (Early PMF, RICE)

Step 1: Define Scoring Criteria

Step 2: Score Each Feature

Step 3: Calculate RICE Score

Step 4: Review and Adjust

Example 2: Bad Framework Match (Pre-PMF + RICE = Wrong Fit)

Common Pitfalls

Pitfall 1: Using the Wrong Framework for Your Stage

Pitfall 2: Framework Whiplash

Pitfall 3: Treating Scores as Gospel

Pitfall 4: Solo PM Scoring

Pitfall 5: No Framework at All
