When This Skill Activates
Claude uses this skill when:
- Prioritizing feature requests
- Managing product backlog
- Making tradeoff decisions
- Saying no gracefully
Core Frameworks
1. RICE Framework (Source: Intercom)
Formula:
RICE Score = (Reach × Impact × Confidence) / Effort
Reach: How many users affected (per quarter)
Impact: How much impact (0.25, 0.5, 1, 2, 3)
Confidence: How confident (%, use 80% if unsure)
Effort: How much work (person-months)
Example:
Feature: In-app notifications
Reach: 1000 users/quarter
Impact: 2 (high impact)
Confidence: 80%
Effort: 1 person-month
RICE = (1000 × 2 × 0.8) / 1 = 1600
2. Value vs Effort Matrix
High Value, Low Effort → DO FIRST (quick wins)
High Value, High Effort → DO NEXT (strategic)
Low Value, Low Effort → DO LATER (fill-ins)
Low Value, High Effort → DON'T DO (money pit)

# Feature Prioritization
## Feature 1: [Name]
- Reach: [X users/quarter]
- Impact: [0.25/0.5/1/2/3]
- Confidence: [X]%
- Effort: [X person-months]
- **RICE Score:** [calculate]
## Feature 2: [Name]
- Reach: [X users/quarter]
- Impact: [0.25/0.5/1/2/3]
- Confidence: [X]%
- Effort: [X person-months]
- **RICE Score:** [calculate]
## Priority Order
1. [Feature with highest RICE]
2. [Feature with second RICE]
3. [Feature with third RICE]
Quick Reference
📊 Prioritization Checklist
Score Each Feature:
- [ ] Reach (how many users)
- [ ] Impact (how much value)
- [ ] Confidence (how sure)
- [ ] Effort (how much work)
Prioritize:
- [ ] Calculate RICE scores
- [ ] Order by score
- [ ] Say no to low scorers
Key Quotes
Shreyas Doshi:
> "Saying no is the most underrated PM skill."
Intercom:
> "Without prioritization, everything feels urgent and nothing gets done well."
