What is this tool?

Votes alone rarely produce realistic priorities. Combining demand, impact, and cost creates better decisions.

How to use

  1. 1Enter feature name, votes, severity (1-5), strategic fit (1-5), and dev cost (1-5).
  2. 2The tool computes a weighted total score automatically.
  3. 3Pick top-scoring items as execution candidates.
  4. 4Revisit weights quarterly to reflect strategy changes.

Frequently Asked Questions
