What it does
Choose a prioritization framework based on stage, team context, and stakeholder needs. Use when deciding between RICE, ICE, value/effort, or another scoring approach.
Purpose
Guide product managers in choosing the right prioritization framework by asking adaptive questions about product stage, team context, decision-making needs, and stakeholder dynamics. Use this to avoid "framework whiplash" (switching frameworks constantly) or applying the wrong framework (e.g., using RICE for strategic bets or ICE for data-driven decisions). Outputs a recommended framework with implementation guidance tailored to your context.
This is not a scoring calculator, it's a decision guide that matches prioritization frameworks to your specific situation.
Input
Works best with: What you're trying to prioritize and why now (sprint planning, roadmap, stakeholder fight). Also useful: Product stage, team size, data availability, and frameworks you've tried that failed.
Anything supplied with the invocation itself, text after the skill name, a pasted context dump, or an appended ARGUMENTS: line, counts as answers already given. Use it and skip whatever it covers; don't re-ask.
Arriving empty-handed? That works too. The advisor opens by asking about your product stage and the decision you need the framework to make.
Example invocation: Help me pick a framework: seed-stage B2B startup, 40-item backlog, zero usage data, loud enterprise prospect.
Key Concepts
The Prioritization Framework Landscape
Common frameworks and when to use them:
Scoring frameworks:
- RICE (Reach, Impact, Confidence, Effort), Data-driven, requires metrics
- ICE (Impact, Confidence, Ease), Lightweight, gut-check scoring
- Value vs. Effort (2x2 matrix), Quick wins vs. strategic bets
- Weighted Scoring, Custom criteria with stakeholder input
