Task Prioritization Question: RICE Scoring Model
8. How would you use the RICE scoring model to prioritize tasks or features?
The RICE model (Reach, Impact, Confidence, Effort) helps teams make data-informed prioritization decisions.
Example Features:
- Feature A: Reach 5,000 users, High impact, 80% confidence, 5 weeks effort.
- Feature B: Reach 2,000 users, Medium impact, 90% confidence, 2 weeks effort.
RICE Score Calculation:
Feature A: (5000 * High * 0.8) ÷ 5 = Higher Score
Feature B: (2000 * Medium * 0.9) ÷ 2 = Lower Score
Answer:
Prioritize Feature A based on its higher RICE score, provided the team can handle the effort.
Key Takeaway: RICE scoring adds quantitative rigor to prioritization decisions.
