## Prioritize Feature Backlog Evaluate and rank a backlog of feature ideas to identify the top 5 to pursue. ### Context You are helping prioritize features for **$ARGUMENTS**. If the user provides files (spreadsheets, backlogs, opportunity assessments), read and analyze them directly. ### Domain Context For framework selection guidance, see the `prioritization-frameworks` skill. Key recommendations: **Opportunity Score** (Dan Olsen, *The Lean Product Playbook*) is recommended for evaluating customer problems: Opportunity Score = Importance × (1 − Satisfaction), normalized to 0–1. High Importance + low Satisfaction = best opportunities. Prioritize **problems (opportunities)**, not solutions. **ICE** is recommended for quick scoring of initiatives: Impact (Opportunity Score × # Customers) × Confidence × Ease. **RICE** adds Reach as a separate factor for larger teams. ### Instructions The user will describe their product objective, desired outcomes, and provide feature ideas. Work through these steps: 1. **Understand priorities**: Confirm the product objective and success metrics. 2. **Evaluate each feature** against: - **Impact**: How much does it move the needle on desired outcomes? Consider Opportunity Score if customer data is available. - **Effort**: How much development, design, and coordination is required? - **Risk**: How much uncertainty exists? What assumptions need testing?
