"ICE Score" with Carsten Lützen

Are you struggling with prioritizing your team's backlog? I'll introduce you to the ICE Score, a simple yet powerful framework developed by Sean Ellis to help teams evaluate and prioritize tasks based on Impact, Confidence, and Ease. This method facilitates meaningful conversations about effort and potential value, ensuring that the most impactful items are tackled first.
In this video, we'll break down the three key factors of the ICE Score and show you how to apply them effectively.

hi,
at company i work for we're using ICE to prioritize Initiative Ideas, those Initiatives are treated as "projects". Initiatives are the Discovery element, thay are then linked to Startegy by supporting specific Key Results and Objectives (OKRs)>
current callanges with this method are especially around Impact which by design in this method is defined as expected % of impact of key metric, but it's proven to be hard for stakeholdesrs to estimate like that, and its' hard to compare Impact between Initiatives, so there's a high chance we are going to switch Impact from % to $ monetary value (& saved / or & gained). All the Best!

Interesting perspective! The impact part is often difficult and I would not compare between projects. It is a relative scale, so we would need some other tool for that if we have to :).

hi Carsten, thx for sharing this model of evaluation that goes beyond the IMPACT/EFFORT (ease) one. I like it. Some doubts around the concept of IMPACT:what do you mean by IMPACT? it's just about the usefulness an idea has for users or it could also be related to other meanings (for example, for me IMPACT is anything that causes a change in metrics)?

Impact / Effort is always nice to plot and quite visual. 3 dimensions is a bit more tricky :D.
The "Impact" part is how well will it help to reach our business goals. Which oftem translate into changing a metric for many.
