Bang-for-the-Buck
Bang-for-the-Buck is a collaborative prioritization tool used by product managers and development teams to evaluate and order backlog items based on their cost and value. This method helps teams visualize priorities and make informed decisions about where to focus their efforts for maximum impact.
Cómo ejecutarlo
- 1
Prepare a graph with 'value' on the y-axis and 'cost' on the x-axis, using Fibonacci numbers for scale.
- 2
Write each backlog item on a sticky note and place them near the graph.
- 3
Provide participants with sticky notes and pens to add additional backlog items.
- 4
Discuss and position each item on the graph, with the product manager focusing on value and the development team on cost.
- 5
Review the graph and determine the priority order by moving clockwise around the chart.
Consejos
Encourage open discussion to gain diverse perspectives on each item's value and cost.
Use this exercise to not only prioritize but also to strategize ways to reduce costs of high-value items.
Keep the session focused and time-boxed to maintain momentum.
Variaciones
For remote teams, consider using an online collaboration tool that allows for virtual sticky notes and real-time updates. Adapt the axes to suit different scales or priorities, such as urgency versus impact.
