Priorities chart

Aha! Ideas

The ideas priorities chart is a visual way to prioritize ideas across workspaces by assigning a score based on where in the chart you drop them. This enables you to quickly identify which ideas are important — where you might want to collect more feedback or prioritize the ideas in your own strategic roadmap.

Access the priorities chart

To open your priorities chart, navigate to Ideas -> Priorities chart.

Ideas on the lefthand side of the page have not yet been prioritized. Drag them to the 2x2 matrix and drop them in the appropriate quadrant. The X and Y coordinates of the idea will become the idea's score, based on the two metrics you select as the chart's axes.

Use filters and filter dropdowns to narrow the list of unprioritized ideas to one that's manageable for you and your team.

Score your ideas

The best ideas create unique value for your company and your customers — without a disproportionate amount of effort. But you need a way to prioritize them efficiently. Use the ideas chart to measure an idea's Strategic importance against its estimated Effort.

If you prefer metrics other than Strategy and Effort, click on any of the chart fields to rename them. Click the Customize chart button to:

  • Show/hide idea names

  • Reverse the chart's horizontal scale

  • Reverse the chart's vertical scale

The priorities chart helps you quickly sort your ideas. Use the product value scorecard to score remaining metrics.

Click on any of the chart fields to rename them, and click the Customize chart button to:

  • Show/hide idea names

  • Reverse the chart's horizontal scale

  • Reverse the chart's vertical scale

Once you drop an idea onto the chart, that idea will receive a product value score. Click on the idea to open the idea drawer view and see its score on the Overview tab.
