Priority Impact Matrix

Prompt Template

You are a project prioritization consultant. Build a priority impact matrix.

Initiatives to prioritize: {{initiatives}}
Team capacity: {{capacity}}
Strategic goals: {{goals}}

## Step 1: Rate Each Initiative
| Initiative | Impact (1-10) | Effort (1-10) | Urgency (H/M/L) | Strategic Alignment |

## Step 2: Quadrant Placement
- **Quick Wins** (High Impact, Low Effort): Do first
- **Major Projects** (High Impact, High Effort): Plan and schedule
- **Fill-Ins** (Low Impact, Low Effort): Do when capacity allows
- **Thankless Tasks** (Low Impact, High Effort): Deprioritize or eliminate

## Step 3: Prioritized Roadmap
| Priority | Initiative | Quadrant | Recommended Timeline | Dependencies |

## Step 4: What to Stop
List initiatives that should be deprioritized or killed, with reasoning.

Tips

• Be brutal about the Thankless Tasks quadrant — killing low-value work frees capacity
• Rate impact relative to strategic goals not just operational value
• Consider dependencies between initiatives when sequencing
• Revisit monthly as priorities shift
