RICE + Strategic Alignment

Q: How do I know the RICE + Strategic Alignment output is good?

The skill verifies itself against its own quality checks: All RICE components have an estimate (even if low confidence — flag those); Strategic alignment is rated against specific OKRs, not general "feels strategic"; Conflicts between RICE rank and strategic alignment are explicitly flagged; "Drop" recommendations are specific — not just "low priority, deprioritise".

🟢 Production-Ready🕐 updated 2026-07-14 🔷 SkillSpec L3 pm-planning

Scores features using both RICE and strategic alignment for nuanced prioritisation. Use when asked to prioritise features, build a priority matrix, combine quantitative scoring with strategic fit, or decide what to build next with multiple competing initiatives. Produces a scored priority matrix with RICE scores, strategic alignment ratings, quadrant placement, and sequencing recommendations.

What to give it

▸List of initiatives or features to prioritise — names and brief descriptions

▸Current strategic priorities or OKRs — needed to rate strategic alignment

▸Reach estimates — users affected per quarter — even rough estimates work

▸Effort estimates — person-months — from engineering if available

▸Quarter or planning period

✅ The bar it holds itself to

Every skill in this library self-verifies — these are this skill's own quality checks, straight from its definition.

✓All RICE components have an estimate (even if low confidence — flag those)

✓Strategic alignment is rated against specific OKRs, not general "feels strategic"

✓Conflicts between RICE rank and strategic alignment are explicitly flagged

✓"Drop" recommendations are specific — not just "low priority, deprioritise"

✓Confidence levels on estimates are noted where weak (drives the 50% confidence flag)

⚠️ What it refuses to do

Do not treat the combined score as a definitive ranking — use it to structure a conversation, not replace one

Do not rate strategic alignment as "high" because an initiative feels important without mapping it to a specific OKR

Do not place all initiatives in the "Now" quadrant — a matrix with no "Drop" recommendations is not credible

Do not ignore the conflict flag when RICE rank and strategic alignment sharply diverge

Do not accept 100% confidence on estimates that have not been validated with data
