Idea Prioritization With ICE and The Confidence Meter

Idea Prioritization With ICE and The Confidence Meter ATTACH

  • Which product idea would you choose?

Prioritizing Using ICE Score

  • Impact is an estimate of how much the idea will positively affect the key metric you’re trying to improve.
  • Ease (of implementation) is an estimation of how much effort and resources will be required to implement this idea. This is typically the inverse of effort (person-week) — lower effort means higher ease.
  • Confidence indicates how sure we are about Impact, and to some degree also about ease of implementation. I’ve written a whole article to explain why prioritization by impact and effort is not enough.
