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

Pre-Workflow

Activate Skills

  • Activate product-owner skill for prioritization frameworks (RICE, MoSCoW, Value/Effort)

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 (release blocker)
  • Should Have: Important, not vital
  • Could Have: Nice to have
  • Won't Have: Out of scope (not this release)

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. Filter by scope if specified; exclude done/rejected items
  3. Apply selected framework
  4. Sort by score/classification; assign numeric priority (1 = highest)
  5. Update PBI frontmatter priority
  6. Output ordered list with scores

Output

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

Report Template

## Backlog Priority - {Date}

**Framework:** {framework}
**Scope:** {scope}

| Rank | PBI     | Score   | Rationale |
| ---- | ------- | ------- | --------- |
| 1    | {title} | {score} | {why}     |

IMPORTANT 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
