To help you get started with RICE prioritization, we've created a collection of free templates available in various formats:

What is RICE Prioritization?

RICE is a prioritization framework that stands for Reach, Impact, Confidence, and Effort. It helps product managers and teams evaluate and compare different initiatives based on these four factors:

  1. Reach: How many people will this impact?

  2. Impact: How much will it affect each person?

  3. Confidence: How certain are we about our estimates?

  4. Effort: How much time and resources will this require?

By combining these factors, you get a single score that allows you to compare and rank different ideas objectively.

The faster, easier way to capture user feedback at scale

Join over 3,051 product managers and see how easy it is to build products people love.

Did you know 80% of software features are rarely or never used? That's a lot of wasted effort.

SaaS software companies spend billions on unused features. Last year, it was $29.5 billion.

We saw this problem and decided to do something about it. Product teams needed a better way to decide what to build.

That's why we created ProductLift - to put all feedback in one place, helping teams easily see what features matter most.

In the last four years, we've helped over 3,051 product teams (like yours) double feature adoption and halve the costs. I'd love for you to give it a try.
