Prioritization Advisor

You know how teams waste hours debating RICE versus ICE versus value/effort matrices? This walks you through four questions about your product stage, team dynamics, decision challenges, and data availability, then recommends which prioritization framework actually fits your situation. It's not a scoring calculator, it's a matchmaker. The questions are specific enough to be useful (pre-PMF versus mature product, small team versus misaligned stakeholders) and it explicitly calls out anti-patterns like using RICE for strategic bets or switching frameworks constantly. Best when you're either picking your first framework or realizing your current one isn't working. Skip it if what you have already works fine.

Purpose

Guide product managers in choosing the right prioritization framework by asking adaptive questions about product stage, team context, decision-making needs, and stakeholder dynamics. Use this to avoid "framework whiplash" (switching frameworks constantly) or applying the wrong framework (e.g., using RICE for strategic bets or ICE for data-driven decisions). Outputs a recommended framework with implementation guidance tailored to your context.

This is not a scoring calculator—it's a decision guide that matches prioritization frameworks to your specific situation.

Input

Works best with: What you're trying to prioritize and why now (sprint planning, roadmap, stakeholder fight). Also useful: Product stage, team size, data availability, and frameworks you've tried that failed.

Anything supplied with the invocation itself — text after the skill name, a pasted context dump, or an appended ARGUMENTS: line — counts as answers already given. Use it and skip whatever it covers; don't re-ask.

Arriving empty-handed? That works too. The advisor opens by asking about your product stage and the decision you need the framework to make.
