Use when ranking backlogs, deciding what to do first based on effort vs impact (quick wins vs big bets), prioritizing feature roadmaps, triaging bugs or technical debt, allocating resources across initiatives, identifying low-hanging fruit, evaluating strategic options with 2x2 matrix, or when user mentions prioritization, quick wins, effort-impact matrix, high-impact low-effort, big bets, or asks "what should we do first?".
Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.
What the file says
# Prioritization: Effort-Impact Matrix ## Table of Contents 1. [Purpose](#purpose) 2. [When to Use](#when-to-use) 3. [What Is It?](#what-is-it) 4. [Workflow](#workflow) 5. [Common Patterns](#common-patterns) 6. [Scoring Frameworks](#scoring-frameworks) 7. [Guardrails](#guardrails) 8. [Quick Reference](#quick-reference) ## Purpose Transform overwhelming backlogs and option lists into clear, actionable priorities by mapping items on a 2x2 matrix of effort (cost/complexity) vs impact (value/benefit). Identify quick wins (high impact, low effort) and distinguish them from big bets (high impact, high effort), time sinks (low impact, high effort), and fill-ins (low impact, low effort). ## When to Use **Use this skill when:** - **Backlog overflow**: You have 20+ items (features, bugs, tasks, ideas) and need to decide execution order - **Resource constraints**: Limited time, budget, or people force trade-off decisions - **Strategic planning**: Choosing between initiatives, projects, or investments for quarterly/annual roadmaps - **Quick wins needed**: Stakeholders want visible progress fast; you need high-impact low-effort items …

How to install
mdr add nicepkg/ai-workflow/prioritization-effort-impact@sha256:3cada32528c85e6dThe line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260118.be84779, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
