SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Data-driven backlog prioritization using WSJF, RICE, value/effort matrices, and dependency analysis to align features with business goals.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • WSJF: compute a composite score from business value, urgency, risk, and effort for each feature.
  • RICE: compute reach, impact, confidence, and effort to estimate relative value.
  • MoSCoW: categorize features into Must Have, Should Have, Could Have, Won't Have.
  • Value/Effort Matrix: map features to a 2x2 grid to identify Quick Wins, Big Bets, Fill-Ins, Time Sinks.
  • Dependency Graph: map feature-to-feature dependencies and identify the critical path.
  • Risk-Adjusted Priority: incorporate technical risk, market timing, and opportunity cost into prioritization.
  • Stakeholder Alignment: identify sponsor goals and conflicts, align priorities across stakeholders.

Quick Start

Provide a prioritized backlog report by applying WSJF, RICE, MoSCoW, and value/effort analysis to your backlog.

FAQPage Schema
How do I prioritize my product backlog using WSJF and RICE scores?

The Skill prioritizes a backlog by analyzing backlog.yaml, problem.yaml, and architecture.yaml files to extract features, estimates, and dependencies. It then computes quantitative scores to produce a ranked plan.

How do I map features to a value/effort matrix for prioritization?

Backlog prioritization requires backlog.yaml, problem.yaml, and architecture.yaml as inputs. These files provide the necessary features, estimates, and dependency mappings required to compute WSJF, RICE, and MoSCoW classifications.

Can I use MoSCoW classification alongside dependency analysis for backlog management?

This approach computes WSJF, RICE, MoSCoW, and value/effort matrices concurrently, providing a multi-dimensional view of backlog priorities. It further differentiates itself by generating a dependency graph and assessing technical risk and opportunity cost.

What is the best way to align stakeholder goals during backlog prioritization?

Heavy reliance on quantitative scoring means qualitative market insights must be provided via the input files. If your backlog lacks detailed effort estimates or architecture dependencies, the generated WSJF and RICE scores may not reflect true priority.
