Learn how RICE, ICE, WSJF, MoSCoW, NPV, ARR, Kano, Cost of Delay, Payback Period, Buy a Feature, ROI, Benefit, and more turn infinite backlogs into executable roadmaps. https://roadmap.one/blog/posts/blog8-22-dot-voting/ Thu, 22 Jan 2026 00:00:00 +0000 https://roadmap.one/blog/posts/blog8-22-dot-voting/ Dot Voting is everywhere—design sprints, retros, roadmap workshops. It belongs in facilitation, not prioritisation. Here’s why democracy produces roadmaps that reflect politics, not value. https://roadmap.one/blog/posts/blog8-23-ge-mckinsey-matrix/ Thu, 22 Jan 2026 00:00:00 +0000 https://roadmap.one/blog/posts/blog8-23-ge-mckinsey-matrix/ The GE-McKinsey Matrix helps boards decide which product lines deserve investment. It’s portfolio strategy, not feature prioritisation—here’s when the 9-box grid earns its complexity over simpler alternatives. https://roadmap.one/blog/posts/blog8-25-product-lifecycle-stage/ Thu, 22 Jan 2026 00:00:00 +0000 https://roadmap.one/blog/posts/blog8-25-product-lifecycle-stage/ Product Lifecycle Stage—Introduction, Growth, Maturity, Decline—is a tagging framework that changes how you interpret prioritisation scores. A high-BRICE initiative for a declining product might still be the wrong investment. https://roadmap.one/blog/posts/blog8-33-stack-ranking/ Thu, 22 Jan 2026 00:00:00 +0000 https://roadmap.one/blog/posts/blog8-33-stack-ranking/ Stack ranking feels like the ultimate prioritisation solution—just order everything from 1 to N and execute. In practice, it ignores capacity, dependencies, and team skills. The item ranked last often must be built before the item ranked first. Roadmaps are art as much as science. https://roadmap.one/blog/posts/blog8-21-100-dollar-test/ Thu, 22 Jan 2026 00:00:00 +0000 https://roadmap.one/blog/posts/blog8-21-100-dollar-test/ The 100 Dollar Test forces trade-offs by giving stakeholders fake money to allocate. It’s better for alignment than prioritisation—the real value is the conversation it creates, not the numbers it produces. https://roadmap.one/blog/posts/blog8-19-eisenhower-matrix/ Thu, 22 Jan 2026 00:00:00 +0000 https://roadmap.one/blog/posts/blog8-19-eisenhower-matrix/ The Eisenhower Matrix isn’t a prioritisation framework—it’s vocabulary. Learn when the Urgent/Important grid helps board conversations and when it creates dangerous blind spots in your roadmap. https://roadmap.one/blog/posts/blog8-20-weighted-scoring/ Thu, 22 Jan 2026 00:00:00 +0000 https://roadmap.one/blog/posts/blog8-20-weighted-scoring/ Weighted Scoring promises customised prioritisation through bespoke criteria and adjustable weights. In practice, it usually produces score-gaming theatre. Learn when it works, when it fails, and why simpler frameworks usually win. https://roadmap.one/blog/posts/blog8-7-brice-prioritisation/ Wed, 14 Jan 2026 00:00:00 +0000 https://roadmap.one/blog/posts/blog8-7-brice-prioritisation/ BRICE extends RICE with Business Importance—forcing teams to explicitly score strategic alignment before reach and impact. Stop building high-impact features that don’t matter to the business. https://roadmap.one/blog/posts/blog8-17-benefit-prioritisation/ Tue, 11 Nov 2025 00:00:00 +0000 https://roadmap.one/blog/posts/blog8-17-benefit-prioritisation/ Benefit prioritisation ranks objectives by pure value delivered—revenue gained or costs saved—over 12, 18, or 24 months. No ratios, no formulas, just pounds. The simplest framework the board will actually understand. https://roadmap.one/blog/posts/blog8-16-roi-prioritisation/ Thu, 06 Nov 2025 00:00:00 +0000 https://roadmap.one/blog/posts/blog8-16-roi-prioritisation/ ROI prioritisation ranks objectives by benefit-to-cost ratio over 12, 18, or 24 months—simpler than NPV, more financially credible than gut instinct. When finance demands numbers but won’t accept spreadsheet theatre. https://roadmap.one/blog/posts/blog8-11-arr-prioritisation/ Tue, 14 Oct 2025 00:00:00 +0000 https://roadmap.one/blog/posts/blog8-11-arr-prioritisation/ ARR prioritisation ranks features by the recurring revenue at stake—letting your highest-value customers vote with their wallets. When does revenue-driven roadmapping create strategic clarity, and when does it turn your product into a consulting service? https://roadmap.one/blog/posts/blog8-15-buy-a-feature-prioritisation/ Tue, 14 Oct 2025 00:00:00 +0000 https://roadmap.one/blog/posts/blog8-15-buy-a-feature-prioritisation/ Buy a Feature prioritisation turns stakeholder alignment into a budgeting game—give them fake money, price features by cost, let them buy what matters. Works brilliantly until the exec with the loudest voice monopolises the budget. https://roadmap.one/blog/posts/blog8-13-cost-of-delay-prioritisation/ Tue, 14 Oct 2025 00:00:00 +0000 https://roadmap.one/blog/posts/blog8-13-cost-of-delay-prioritisation/ Cost of Delay prioritisation quantifies the economic damage from waiting—then divides by duration to find maximum value per time. Every week you delay shipping costs £X. Which features cost the most to postpone? https://roadmap.one/blog/posts/blog8-12-kano-prioritisation/ Tue, 14 Oct 2025 00:00:00 +0000 https://roadmap.one/blog/posts/blog8-12-kano-prioritisation/ Kano prioritisation sequences features by customer satisfaction psychology: Must-Haves first (or your product isn’t viable), then Performance, then Delighters. Ship the basics before chasing wow moments. https://roadmap.one/blog/posts/blog8-10-npv-prioritisation/ Tue, 14 Oct 2025 00:00:00 +0000 https://roadmap.one/blog/posts/blog8-10-npv-prioritisation/ NPV prioritisation brings finance-grade rigour to roadmap decisions by calculating the present value of future cash flows. When should product teams embrace the spreadsheet complexity—and when should they run? https://roadmap.one/blog/posts/blog8-14-payback-period-prioritisation/ Tue, 14 Oct 2025 00:00:00 +0000 https://roadmap.one/blog/posts/blog8-14-payback-period-prioritisation/ Payback Period prioritisation ranks features by time to recover investment—the CFO’s favourite metric because it answers ‘when do I get my money back?’ Simpler than NPV, more intuitive than IRR, but blind to what happens after break-even. https://roadmap.one/blog/posts/blog8-2-ice-prioritisation/ Tue, 07 Oct 2025 00:00:00 +0000 https://roadmap.one/blog/posts/blog8-2-ice-prioritisation/ Sean Ellis’s ICE framework—Impact × Confidence × Ease—is RICE’s scrappy younger sibling. Built for speed over precision, ICE thrives when startups need decisions today, not perfect data tomorrow. https://roadmap.one/blog/posts/blog8-5-manual-prioritisation/ Tue, 07 Oct 2025 00:00:00 +0000 https://roadmap.one/blog/posts/blog8-5-manual-prioritisation/ Manual prioritisation—a simple 1-10 scale—is what you use when frameworks feel like theatre and executive judgment beats algorithmic scoring. It’s not surrender; it’s pragmatism about how decisions actually get made. https://roadmap.one/blog/posts/blog8-3-moscow-prioritisation/ Tue, 07 Oct 2025 00:00:00 +0000 https://roadmap.one/blog/posts/blog8-3-moscow-prioritisation/ MoSCoW—Must have, Should have, Could have, Won’t have—is prioritisation stripped to its brutal essence. Perfect for fixed deadlines when stakeholders need to see exactly what gets cut if the timeline slips. https://roadmap.one/blog/posts/blog8-9-pie-prioritisation/ Tue, 07 Oct 2025 00:00:00 +0000 https://roadmap.one/blog/posts/blog8-9-pie-prioritisation/ Chris Goward’s PIE framework—Potential × Importance × Ease—prioritises experiments and features by upside if successful. Built for growth teams optimising conversion, now used everywhere fast decisions matter. https://roadmap.one/blog/posts/blog8-1-rice-prioritisation/ Tue, 07 Oct 2025 00:00:00 +0000 https://roadmap.one/blog/posts/blog8-1-rice-prioritisation/ Intercom’s RICE framework—Reach × Impact × Confidence ÷ Effort—turns gut instinct into quantitative roadmap decisions. Learn when RICE is your best weapon, and when it betrays you. https://roadmap.one/blog/posts/blog8-8-opportunity-scoring/ Tue, 07 Oct 2025 00:00:00 +0000 https://roadmap.one/blog/posts/blog8-8-opportunity-scoring/ Ulwick’s Opportunity Scoring formula (Importance + max(Importance − Satisfaction, 0)) finds the customer needs competitors miss. A practical guide to the Strategyn/JTBD prioritisation framework—with worked examples and implementation steps. https://roadmap.one/blog/posts/blog8-6-value-complexity-prioritisation/ Tue, 07 Oct 2025 00:00:00 +0000 https://roadmap.one/blog/posts/blog8-6-value-complexity-prioritisation/ The Value vs Complexity Matrix is a visual 2×2 prioritisation grid that sorts every objective into Quick Wins, Major Projects, Fill-ins, or Money Pits. Plot value against complexity and see your entire roadmap at a glance. https://roadmap.one/blog/posts/blog8-4-wsjf-prioritisation/ Tue, 07 Oct 2025 00:00:00 +0000 https://roadmap.one/blog/posts/blog8-4-wsjf-prioritisation/ WSJF (Weighted Shortest Job First) prioritises by Cost of Delay divided by Job Size. The formula: (Business Value + Time Criticality + Risk Reduction) ÷ Job Size. A practical guide to the SAFe prioritisation framework—with worked examples, Fibonacci scoring, and when WSJF fails.
