🧠 Smart Prioritizing
#

If you’re juggling multiple product ideas, features, or projects, the RICE method is a powerful framework to help you decide what’s worth pursuing first.

🔍 What Does RICE Stand For?
#

RICE is an acronym for four key factors:

  • Reach: How many people will be affected by this initiative?
  • Impact: How much will it move the needle toward your goal?
  • Confidence: How sure are you about your estimates?
  • Effort: How much time and resources will it take?

RICE Method

The formula is simple: RICE Score = (Reach × Impact × Confidence) ÷ Effort

✅ Why Use the RICE Method?
#

  • Objective Decision-Making: It replaces gut feeling with structured reasoning.
  • Clear Prioritization: Helps teams align on what matters most.
  • Resource Efficiency: Focuses on high-impact, low-effort initiatives.
  • Transparency: Everyone understands why a project is ranked where it is.

🚀 Conclusion

Whether you’re planning a product roadmap or sorting through a backlog of ideas, RICE brings clarity and confidence to your decision-making process. It’s a small acronym with a big impact.
