Pick which feature requests to build next

4 weeks · 4 sessions a week, about 45 min each

Where you end up: You can rank your feature backlog with a scoring method weighted by revenue and fit, and explain each pick to users.

Phases

  1. Gather the Evidence · week 1
  2. Learn the Frameworks · week 2
  3. Score and Decide · weeks 2 to 3
  4. Communicate and Repeat · week 4

Week 1Gather the Evidence

  1. Day 1
    Build a single request list

    Copy every open feature request into one spreadsheet with columns for request, requester, date, and source. Stop at 45 minutes even if incomplete; done means every source has been scanned once.

  2. Day 3
    Merge duplicates into problems

    Group requests that describe the same underlying problem and write a one-line problem statement for each group.

  3. Day 5
    Attach revenue and usage

    Add columns for each requester's plan, monthly revenue, and activity level, then total revenue per problem.

  4. Day 6
    Write your product direction

    Write three sentences on who the product is for and what it must be great at, to judge fit later.

Week 2Learn the Frameworks

  1. Day 8
    Study RICE scoring

    Read one RICE guide and note in two lines how Reach, Impact, Confidence, and Effort would apply to your top five problems. Done means you can explain each factor without looking.

  2. Day 10
    Study the Kano model

    Label your top ten problems as basic, performance, or delighter and note one surprise.

  3. Day 12
    Decide your weighting rules

    Write how much weight revenue, number of requesters, and strategic fit get, so loud voices count once.

  4. Day 13
    Score the top fifteen problems

    Give each of your fifteen biggest problems a RICE score plus a fit score from 1 to 3 using your weighting rules. Keep estimates rough; consistency matters more than precision.

Week 3Score and Decide

  1. Day 15
    Talk to two quiet customers

    Message two paying users who never request features and ask what slows them down most, then note answers.

  2. Day 19
    Rescore with new insights

    Update scores using the quiet customers' answers and write down which rankings moved and why.

  3. Day 20
    Pick the next two builds

    Choose the top two, write one paragraph per pick on why it beat the third-ranked item.

Week 4Communicate and Repeat

  1. Day 22
    Reply to requesters

    Send short, kind replies to requesters of the top five non-picked items explaining where they stand. Use one template and finish within the session.

  2. Day 24
    Set a monthly review ritual

    Write a 30-minute monthly checklist: add new requests, rescore the top fifteen, confirm next picks.
