Backlog Prioritization

Order backlog items using data-driven prioritization frameworks.

When to Use

• Sprint planning needs ordered backlog
• Stakeholder requests priority ranking
• Feature roadmap ordering

Quick Reference

Frameworks

RICE Score

Score = (Reach x Impact x Confidence) / Effort

Reach: Users affected per quarter
Impact: 0.25 | 0.5 | 1 | 2 | 3
Confidence: 0.5 | 0.8 | 1.0
Effort: Person-months

MoSCoW

• Must Have: Critical, non-negotiable
• Should Have: Important, not vital
• Could Have: Nice to have
• Won't Have: Out of scope

Value vs Effort

High Value + Low Effort = Quick Wins (do first)
High Value + High Effort = Strategic (plan carefully)
Low Value + Low Effort = Fill-ins (if time permits)
Low Value + High Effort = Time sinks (avoid)

Workflow

1. Read PBIs from team-artifacts/pbis/
2. Apply selected framework
3. Output ordered list with scores
4. Update PBI frontmatter priority

Output

• Priority field: Numeric 1-999 (not High/Med/Low)
• Console: Ordered table with scores

Task Planning Notes

• Always plan and break many small todo tasks
• Always add a final review todo task to review the works done at the end to find any fix or enhancement needed
