RICE + Strategic Alignment Skill

Produce a prioritisation output that balances quantitative RICE scoring with qualitative strategic fit — because the highest RICE score isn't always the right next bet.

Required Inputs

Ask the user for these if not provided:

  • List of initiatives or features to prioritise (names and brief descriptions)
  • Current strategic priorities or OKRs (needed to rate strategic alignment)
  • Reach estimates (users affected per quarter — even rough estimates work)
  • Effort estimates (person-months — from engineering if available)
  • Quarter or planning period

Two-Stage Process

Stage 1: RICE Scoring

  • Reach: Users affected per quarter
  • Impact: 3/2/1/0.5/0.25 scale
  • Confidence: 100% / 80% / 50%
  • Effort: Person-months
  • RICE = (R × I × C) / E

Stage 2: Strategic Alignment Score

Rate each initiative against your current strategic priorities (provided as input):

  • Directly supports top OKR: +3
  • Supports secondary OKR: +2
  • Neutral: +1
  • Contradicts strategic direction: -1

Final Priority Score

Combined Score = RICE Score + (Strategic Alignment × 10)

Validate — Flag any initiative where RICE score and strategic alignment conflict sharply (e.g., high RICE, low alignment). These require an explicit team conversation before sequencing.

Quadrant Definitions

  • Now: High RICE + High Strategic Alignment → Build this quarter
  • Next: High RICE + Lower Alignment → Queue for next quarter
  • Later: Lower RICE + High Alignment → Revisit when capacity allows
  • Drop: Low RICE + Low Alignment → Remove from backlog

    Deeper Materials

    This skill ships with support files — use them when they are available:

    • references/strategic-weighting.md — Blending RICE with Strategic Fit — Without Cooking the Books. Apply it while producing the output; it carries the calibration and judgment calls the method summary above compresses.
    • templates/matrix-worksheet.md — a fill-in version of the deliverable with the quality gates inline. Offer it when the user wants to work the document themselves rather than have it generated.

    Scoring Rubric (0–40)

    Score any output of this skill before handing it over; 32+ is ship-quality.

    Dimension0510
    Scoring integrityInvented or uniform component values; 100% confidence everywhereAll components estimated, but confidence levels unexamined and scales inconsistent across rowsEvery component sourced or explicitly flagged; no unvalidated 100%s; 50%-confidence rows marked and scale choices (e.g. reach units) stated
    Strategic-alignment rigourAlignment rated on "feels strategic" with no reference to prioritiesRatings given but not tied to named OKRs; nothing scores negativeEvery rating maps to a specific OKR by name; initiatives that contradict strategy actually receive −1
    Conflict surfacingCombined score presented as the definitive rankingSharp RICE-vs-alignment divergences are visible in the table but never discussedEvery sharp divergence is flagged with an explicit conversation recommendation (owner, forum, and a scoreable alternative where one exists)
    Quadrant decisivenessEverything lands in "Now"; no DropsQuadrants used, but Drop recommendations are vague ("deprioritise") and capacity is ignoredHonest distribution including specific Drop actions with re-entry conditions, and sequencing checked against actual capacity

    Quality Checks

    • All RICE components have an estimate (even if low confidence — flag those)
    • Strategic alignment is rated against specific OKRs, not general "feels strategic"
    • Conflicts between RICE rank and strategic alignment are explicitly flagged
    • "Drop" recommendations are specific — not just "low priority, deprioritise"
    • Confidence levels on estimates are noted where weak (drives the 50% confidence flag)

    Anti-Patterns

    • Do not treat the combined score as a definitive ranking — use it to structure a conversation, not replace one
    • Do not rate strategic alignment as "high" because an initiative feels important without mapping it to a specific OKR
    • Do not place all initiatives in the "Now" quadrant — a matrix with no "Drop" recommendations is not credible
    • Do not ignore the conflict flag when RICE rank and strategic alignment sharply diverge
    • Do not accept 100% confidence on estimates that have not been validated with data
