RICE prioritisation · IN SHORT
Compare initiatives on reach, impact, confidence and effort within the same period. The RICE skill shows its arithmetic and examines estimates, dependencies and exceptions that may change the ranking.
Your brief
Use fictional figures: A reaches 200 people, impact 1, confidence 80%, effort 2. B reaches 100 people, impact 2, confidence 50%, effort 1. Both use the same period.
Possible draft
A scores 80 and B scores 100. B ranks higher mathematically but rests on weaker evidence. Check that evidence and any dependencies before scheduling B first.
01 / THE FOUNDATION
A calculation and ranking table, a reasoned top three and checks on weak estimates.
02 / SEE HOW IT WORKS
Use fictional figures: A reaches 200 people, impact 1, confidence 80%, effort 2. B reaches 100 people, impact 2, confidence 50%, effort 1. Both use the same period.
A scores 80 and B scores 100. B ranks higher mathematically but rests on weaker evidence. Check that evidence and any dependencies before scheduling B first.
This example shows the approach. It is not a client result or a guarantee of a particular outcome.
03 / GET STARTED
Use a shared period, impact scale and effort unit. Investigate assumptions below fifty percent confidence first.
Multiply reach, impact and confidence as a fraction, then divide by effort.
Check uncertainty, underestimated effort, dependencies and mandatory work before scheduling.
04 / MAKE IT YOURS
Take the instructions, add your own context and review the draft. You stay in control.
