prioritization-effort-impact

Use when ranking backlogs, deciding what to do first based on effort vs impact (quick wins vs big bets), prioritizing feature roadmaps, triaging bugs or technical debt, allocating resources across initiatives, identifying low-hanging fruit, evaluating strategic options with 2x2 matrix, or when user mentions prioritization, quick wins, effort-impact matrix, high-impact low-effort, big bets, or asks "what should we do first?".

## Purpose

Transform overwhelming backlogs and option lists into clear, actionable priorities by mapping items on a 2x2 matrix of effort (cost/complexity) vs impact (value/benefit). Identify quick wins (high impact, low effort) and distinguish them from big bets (high impact, high effort), time sinks (low impact, high effort), and fill-ins (low impact, low effort).
