prioritization-advisor

## Purpose 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. This is not a scoring calculator—it's a decision guide that matches prioritization frameworks to your specific situation. ## Key Concepts ### The Prioritization Framework Landscape Common frameworks and when to use them: **Scoring frameworks:** - **RICE** (Reach, Impact, Confidence, Effort) — Data-driven, requires metrics - **ICE** (Impact, Confidence, Ease) — Lightweight, gut-check scoring - **Value vs. Effort** (2x2 matrix) — Quick wins vs. strategic bets - **Weighted Scoring** — Custom criteria with stakeholder input **Strategic frameworks:** - **Kano Model** — Classify features by customer delight (basic, performance, delight) - **Opportunity Scoring** — Rate importance vs. satisfaction gap - **Buy-a-Feature** — Customer budget allocation exercise - **Moscow** (Must, Should, Could, Won't) — Forcing function for hard choices **Contextual frameworks:** - **Cost of Delay** — Urgency-based (time-sensitive features) - **Impact Mapping** — Goal-driven (tie features to outcomes) - **Story Mapping** — User journey-based (nar...
