### What’s the output?

We have a shortlist of 6ish ideas that we will go and spend some more time scoping in break-out groups later.

The number of ideas we have in our shortlist is based on our team size - we have max 1 idea per person. So, in a team of 6, we’ll end up with a max of 6 ideas.

### How are we going to get there?

Using the RICE prioritization framework (but we’ve adjusted it slightly to be RICES).

1. start off by describing the idea a bit. Whoever wrote it can talk it through. It can be useful to take notes in the idea page as you go 🙂
2. as a group we’ll try to come up with the project’s reach, impact, confidence and effort estimates.
3. Order the ideas by their RICES score: $\frac {Reach \times Impact \times Confidence \times Stoke}{Effort}$
4. Assign an idea owner to each one

Here are some handy definitions for how we’ll measure each of these things:

• reach = the number of orgs/users that a project will impact over the next quarter.
• impact = how much will this project increase the retention rate if a customer encounters it?
• confidence = How confident are we in our estimates?
• effort = estimate the total amount of time a project will require from all members of your team: product, design, engineering, etc.
• stoke = how excited would we be to share this + shout about it at the end of the build?
