Transform how you measure success—Key Result tagging reveals whether you're measuring the right things, with the right confidence, using the right methods.
Objective Prioritisation, The Science of Sequencing Strategy
Objective prioritisation is the brutal art of choosing which objectives to fund first. Learn how RICE, ICE, WSJF, MoSCoW, NPV, ARR, Kano, Cost of Delay, Payback Period, Buy a Feature, and five other frameworks turn infinite backlogs into executable roadmaps.
Objective Prioritisation: ARR
When Your Customers' Cheque Size Decides Your Roadmap
ARR prioritisation ranks features by the recurring revenue at stake—letting your highest-value customers vote with their wallets. When does revenue-driven roadmapping create strategic clarity, and when does it turn your product into a consulting service?
Objective Prioritisation: Buy a Feature
Gamification for Stakeholder Alignment—When Democracy Meets Budgets
Buy a Feature prioritisation turns stakeholder alignment into a budgeting game—give them fake money, price features by cost, let them buy what matters. Works brilliantly until the exec with the loudest voice monopolises the budget.
Objective Prioritisation: Cost of Delay
The Economics of Waiting—When Time Is Literally Money
Cost of Delay prioritisation quantifies the economic damage from waiting—then divides by duration to find maximum value per time. Every week you delay shipping costs £X. Which features cost the most to postpone?
Objective Prioritisation: Kano
When Customer Delight Drives the Roadmap—But Only After the Basics Work
Kano prioritisation sequences features by customer satisfaction psychology: Must-Haves first (or your product isn't viable), then Performance, then Delighters. Ship the basics before chasing wow moments.
Objective Prioritisation: NPV
When Finance Owns Your Roadmap (And Why That Might Be Good)
NPV prioritisation brings finance-grade rigour to roadmap decisions by calculating the present value of future cash flows. When should product teams embrace the spreadsheet complexity—and when should they run?
Objective Prioritisation: Payback Period
The Financial Metric Product People Actually Understand
Payback Period prioritisation ranks features by time to recover investment—the CFO's favourite metric because it answers 'when do I get my money back?' Simpler than NPV, more intuitive than IRR, but blind to what happens after break-even.
Objective Prioritisation: BRICE
RICE + Strategic Alignment = Roadmaps That Actually Serve Business Goals
BRICE extends RICE with Business Importance—forcing teams to explicitly score strategic alignment before reach and impact. Stop building high-impact features that don't matter to the business.
Objective Prioritisation: ICE
Fast Roadmap Decisions for Teams Who Can't Afford Analysis Paralysis
Sean Ellis's ICE framework—Impact × Confidence × Ease—is RICE's scrappy younger sibling. Built for speed over precision, ICE thrives when startups need decisions today, not perfect data tomorrow.
Objective Prioritisation: Manual
Executive Override and Political Triage—When Simple Beats Scientific
Manual prioritisation—a simple 1-10 scale—is what you use when frameworks feel like theatre and executive judgment beats algorithmic scoring. It's not surrender; it's pragmatism about how decisions actually get made.
Objective Prioritisation: MoSCoW
Scope Negotiation for Fixed-Deadline Projects That Can't Fail
MoSCoW—Must have, Should have, Could have, Won't have—is prioritisation stripped to its brutal essence. Perfect for fixed deadlines when stakeholders need to see exactly what gets cut if the timeline slips.
Objective Prioritisation: Opportunity Scoring
Find the Gaps Between What Matters and What Satisfies
Tony Ulwick's Opportunity Scoring—Importance minus Satisfaction reveals where customers are begging for better solutions. Stop building features nobody needs; start closing gaps that matter.
Objective Prioritisation: PIE
Potential, Importance, Ease—Prioritisation for Growth Teams Who Test Everything
Chris Goward's PIE framework—Potential × Importance × Ease—prioritises experiments and features by upside if successful. Built for growth teams optimising conversion, now used everywhere fast decisions matter.
Objective Prioritisation: RICE
Data-Driven Roadmaps for Teams Who Measure Everything
Intercom's RICE framework—Reach × Impact × Confidence ÷ Effort—turns gut instinct into quantitative roadmap decisions. Learn when RICE is your best weapon, and when it betrays you.
Objective Prioritisation: Value vs Complexity Matrix
Visual Clarity for Teams Who Think in Quadrants, Not Numbers
The Value vs Complexity Matrix—a visual 2×2 grid that turns abstract prioritisation debates into clear quadrants. Quick Wins, Major Projects, Fill-ins, or Money Pits—see your roadmap at a glance.
Objective Prioritisation: WSJF
Cost of Delay Economics for Large-Scale Agile—When It Works
WSJF—Weighted Shortest Job First from SAFe—prioritises by cost of delay divided by job size. Perfect for enterprises optimising economic urgency. Just beware SAFe's gravitational pull toward process over outcomes.
Objective Tagging: Gartner's Run / Grow / Transform Modal
A pragmatic guide to Gartner's Run-Grow-Transform portfolio lens and how product managers can use it to balance operational excellence with bold innovation.
Key Result Tagging: Committed vs Stretch Goals
The OKR Distinction That Separates Winners from Wishful Thinkers
Master the OKR fundamental that Google lives by—Committed goals demand 100% delivery, Stretch goals target 60-70% ambition—so boards and teams finally speak the same language about expectations.
Key Result Tagging: Confidence Level %
From Static Predictions to Dynamic Risk Signals
Track evolving confidence (0-100%) in achieving each key result—not as a static guess but as a living signal for when to double down, pivot, or pull the plug before it's too late.
Key Result Tagging: Level of Ambition
From Moonshots to Certainties—Calibrating Stakeholder Expectations
Signal where teams stretch versus deliver with certainty—Low, Medium, High ambition, or High Integrity Commitments—so stakeholders calibrate expectations and debates shift from blame to learning.
Key Result Tagging: Metric Type
When Numbers Tell Half the Story—Balancing Metrics with Meaning
Balance numbers with nuance—tag key results as Quantitative (metrics), Qualitative (insights), or Boolean (yes/no outcomes) to ensure you're not optimising spreadsheets while missing the stories that matter.
