How to prioritize a product backlog, in 9 easy steps. 🪄
Many PMs struggle with this. You don't have to.
If you have a list of ideas already, you can do it in under an hour.
1. Create a blank spreadsheet (e.g. sheets.new)
2. Add column headers: "Project", "Reach", "Impact", "Confidence", "Effort", "ROI"
3. Write your ideas in the Project column
4. In the "Reach" column, guess the # of customers who will use the feature (very rough! 10? 100? 1000?)
5. In the "Impact" column, guess the % improvement on the customer's life (again, rough! tiny = 10%, medium = 100%, high = 200%, etc.)
6. In the "Confidence" column, guess the % chance you will get it right on the first try (again, very rough: closing a commonly requested feature gap = 100%, never-tried experimental idea the team is excited about = 25%, etc)
7. In the "Effort" column, write the # of person-weeks required (e.g. 2 people for 2 weeks = 4 -- this is a great spot to bring your eng mgr peer into the convo)
8. In the ROI column, calculate: Reach*Impact*Confidence/Effort
9. Sort by ROI
Boom, done.
At this point you will probably wince at some of the results -- this is your intuition telling you either:
a) there's a mistake somewhere in your estimate of reach/impact/confidence/effort
b) you are more attracted to some ideas than you should be, in light of your alternate options
c) you have large projects that could be broken down in ways that would isolate the higher ROI bits
Building a ranked backlog is easy once you know how to do it. The hard part is applying your judgment to the results, and transforming the backlog into a sequenced roadmap that factors in people's availability, need for quick wins vs. longer term investments, tech debt, refactoring, etc. Having a great ranked backlog puts you on the path.
Good luck!

@mgoetz118 Me too. I think it's an employee thing? Works on mobile- not desktop.

Today I received amazing news. My cancer is not traceable. This is huge news (at least to me) and while the Twitter chaos still plagues my mind. This brings perspective. I'm happy to be healthy and in full faculty. #cancersurvivor #fuckcancer #LoveWhereYouWorked
