**The PM Skills Marketplace provides nine evidence-based prioritization frameworks including ICE, RICE, MoSCoW, Kano Model, and Eisenhower Matrix, all documented in the dedicated `prioritization-frameworks` skill with formulas, templates, and implementation guidance.**

The **phuryn/pm-skills** repository hosts a comprehensive collection of product management utilities, with its marketplace offering specific guidance on prioritization frameworks available in PM Skills Marketplace. This skill consolidates industry-standard methodologies into actionable formats, complete with mathematical formulas and downloadable templates for immediate implementation.

## The Nine Prioritization Frameworks Available in PM Skills Marketplace

The `prioritization-frameworks` skill, located at [`pm-execution/skills/prioritization-frameworks/SKILL.md`](https://github.com/phuryn/pm-skills/blob/main/pm-execution/skills/prioritization-frameworks/SKILL.md), documents nine distinct methodologies for product decision-making. Each framework includes specific use-case guidance, key insights, and links to Google Docs/Sheets templates.

### Framework Overview and Use Cases

- **Eisenhower Matrix** – Sorts personal tasks into *Urgent vs Important* quadrants for individual productivity management.

- **Impact vs Effort** – Deploys a simple 2×2 chart for quick triage of tasks and initiatives based on value versus cost.

- **Risk vs Reward** – Adds a risk dimension to the Impact vs Effort view for initiatives with high uncertainty.

- **Opportunity Score** (Dan Olsen) – Prioritizes customer problems using the formula `Opportunity Score = Importance × (1 – Satisfaction)`.

- **Kano Model** – Classifies features into Must-be, Performance, Attractive, and other categories to understand customer expectations.

- **Weighted Decision Matrix** – Supports multi-factor stakeholder decisions by assigning weights to criteria and computing weighted scores.

- **ICE** – Enables rapid idea ranking using `Score = Impact × Confidence × Ease` on a 1-10 scale.

- **RICE** – Provides scalable idea prioritization using `Score = (Reach × Impact × Confidence) / Effort`.

- **MoSCoW** – Categorizes requirements as Must, Should, Could, or Won't, originally developed for project management.

### Mathematical Formulas for Quantitative Methods

Two frameworks provide explicit formulas for scoring initiatives:

- **ICE**: Multiplies Impact, Confidence, and Ease (all rated 1-10) to produce a comparative score.

- **RICE**: Multiplies Reach (number of users), Impact (value per customer, 0-1), and Confidence (0-1 or percentage), then divides by Effort (typically person-months).

- **Opportunity Score**: Calculates the gap between importance and current satisfaction to identify unmet customer needs.

## Implementation: Calculating ICE and RICE Scores

The skill includes executable Python logic for computing quantitative scores. These implementations can be integrated into custom skills or run locally to evaluate feature ideas.

### ICE Score Calculation

```python
def ice_score(impact: float, confidence: float, ease: float) -> float:
    """
    Compute ICE score.
    Parameters are on a 1‑10 scale.
    """
    return impact * confidence * ease

# Example

print(ice_score(8, 7, 5))   # → 280

```

### RICE Score Calculation

```python
def rice_score(reach: int, impact: float, confidence: float, effort: float) -> float:
    """
    Compute RICE score.
    * reach – number of customers/users affected
    * impact – value per customer (0‑1)
    * confidence – 0‑1 (or 0‑100 %)
    * effort – person‑months (or any consistent effort unit)
    """
    return (reach * impact * confidence) / effort

# Example

print(rice_score(reach=1500, impact=0.6, confidence=0.8, effort=4))  # → 180.0

```

## Accessing Framework Documentation and Templates

The prioritization frameworks are exposed through the marketplace infrastructure in two key locations:

- **[`pm-execution/skills/prioritization-frameworks/SKILL.md`](https://github.com/phuryn/pm-skills/blob/main/pm-execution/skills/prioritization-frameworks/SKILL.md)** – The primary reference document containing framework definitions, formulas, when-to-use guidance, and template links.

- **[`.claude-plugin/marketplace.json`](https://github.com/phuryn/pm-skills/blob/main/.claude-plugin/marketplace.json)** – Declares the skill for the PM Skills Marketplace, making the frameworks searchable and accessible via the PM Skills CLI.

According to the source code in `phuryn/pm-skills`, users can activate these skills through the marketplace interface to access downloadable templates and structured implementation guides.

## Summary

- The PM Skills Marketplace offers **nine distinct prioritization frameworks** ranging from qualitative matrices (Eisenhower, MoSCoW) to quantitative scoring models (ICE, RICE).
- Framework documentation resides in [`pm-execution/skills/prioritization-frameworks/SKILL.md`](https://github.com/phuryn/pm-skills/blob/main/pm-execution/skills/prioritization-frameworks/SKILL.md) with formulas, use-case guidance, and template links.
- **ICE** and **RICE** provide mathematical scoring systems for rapid initiative ranking, with reference implementations available in Python.
- The [`.claude-plugin/marketplace.json`](https://github.com/phuryn/pm-skills/blob/main/.claude-plugin/marketplace.json) file exposes these frameworks to the CLI, making them discoverable within the PM Skills ecosystem.
- All frameworks include links to Google Docs and Sheets templates for immediate practical application.

## Frequently Asked Questions

### What file contains the prioritization framework documentation in the PM Skills Marketplace?

The complete documentation for all nine frameworks lives in [`pm-execution/skills/prioritization-frameworks/SKILL.md`](https://github.com/phuryn/pm-skills/blob/main/pm-execution/skills/prioritization-frameworks/SKILL.md) within the `phuryn/pm-skills` repository. This file contains use-case descriptions, mathematical formulas, and links to downloadable templates.

### How does the PM Skills Marketplace expose these frameworks to the CLI?

The frameworks are declared in [`.claude-plugin/marketplace.json`](https://github.com/phuryn/pm-skills/blob/main/.claude-plugin/marketplace.json), which registers the `prioritization-frameworks` skill with the marketplace. This JSON configuration makes the frameworks discoverable and accessible through the PM Skills CLI interface.

### Which prioritization framework is best for rapid idea ranking?

The **ICE** framework (Impact × Confidence × Ease) is optimized for rapid ranking because it requires only three parameters on a 1-10 scale and multiplies them for immediate comparative scores. This makes it ideal for early-stage brainstorming when precise reach data is unavailable.

### What is the difference between ICE and RICE scoring in PM Skills?

**ICE** calculates `Impact × Confidence × Ease` to produce a relative score, while **RICE** adds a **Reach** dimension and divides by **Effort** using the formula `(Reach × Impact × Confidence) / Effort`. RICE provides more scalable prioritization by accounting for the number of affected users and actual implementation cost, whereas ICE offers quicker triage with fewer inputs.
