Effort vs Impact

Prioritise concepts by mapping them against implementation effort and impact on the user.

What it is

A method to determine priority of concepts against how much effort it will take to implement and how much impact it will have on the user.

When to use it

Can help project teams to determine where they should start in implementing solutions.

How to run it

As a team, evaluate where your concepts sit on the Impact/Effort Matrix: Low Impact/Low Effort — is it worth proceeding? Low Impact/High Effort — what should you do differently? High Impact/Low Effort — what are your top 3 recommendations? High Impact/High Effort — how could you phase the implementation?
