Feature Prioritization Matrix
Prioritize product features using structured frameworks like RICE, Value vs. Effort, or Kano Model.
Prompt
Help prioritize features for [product/project] using a structured prioritization framework.
Feature List:
[Paste list of candidate features with brief descriptions]
Context:
- Business goals: [describe]
- User needs: [describe]
- Technical constraints: [describe]
- Timeline: [describe]
Choose a prioritization framework (RICE, Value vs. Effort, Kano Model, or custom) and provide:
1. Framework Selection
- Recommended framework and rationale
- How framework aligns with goals
- Framework methodology
2. Scoring Criteria
- Criteria for evaluation
- Scoring scale
- Weighting (if applicable)
- How to calculate priority score
3. Feature Scoring
For each feature:
- Score breakdown by criteria
- Total priority score
- Rationale for scores
- Assumptions made
4. Prioritized Feature List
- Features ranked by priority
- Justification for ranking
- Quick wins vs. strategic investments
- Dependencies and sequencing
5. Roadmap Recommendations
- Phase 1 (immediate - next sprint/quarter)
- Phase 2 (short-term - next 2-3 quarters)
- Phase 3 (long-term - 6+ months)
- Dependencies and sequencing
6. Risk Assessment
- High-risk features
- Mitigation strategies
- Alternative approaches
- When to reassess
7. Success Metrics
- Metrics for each feature
- How to measure impact
- Review cadence
Format as a prioritization matrix with clear rankings and roadmap recommendations.How to use
- 1List your candidate features: Prepare a list of features you want to prioritize
- 2Replace [product/project] with your product name (e.g., "Mobile App" or "Dashboard Feature Set")
- 3Replace [Paste list of candidate features] with your feature list. Format: "Feature 1: [description]" "Feature 2: [description]"
- 4Replace [describe] placeholders with your context. Example: "Business goals: Increase user engagement. User needs: Faster checkout. Technical constraints: Limited API capacity. Timeline: Q1 launch."
- 5Paste the modified prompt into your preferred AI tool, like ChatGPT or Claude
- 6Review the prioritization matrix: Check framework selection, feature scoring, and prioritized feature list
- 7Review roadmap recommendations: Check Phase 1 (immediate), Phase 2 (short-term), and Phase 3 (long-term) features
- 8Ask for specific framework: Request "Use RICE framework" or "Use Value vs Effort matrix" if you prefer a specific framework
- 9Export to roadmap tool: Copy the prioritized features and roadmap to Productboard, Aha, or your roadmap tool
- 10Use for planning: Apply the roadmap recommendations to plan your product roadmap
Pro Tips
- • Include business context: Mention business goals and user needs so AI can prioritize appropriately
- • Specify framework: If you have a preferred framework (RICE, Value vs Effort, Kano), mention it explicitly
- • For many features: If you have 20+ features, consider prioritizing in groups: "Prioritize these 5 features: [list]"
- • Request scoring details: Ask "Show detailed scoring for [specific feature]" to understand prioritization rationale
- • Save as template: Reuse the prioritization structure for future feature prioritization
