Prioritization Worksheet — Impact vs Cross‑Functional Reach

Use this worksheet to convert observed hypotheses into prioritized experiments.

How to use

  1. For each hypothesis, estimate two scores (1–5): Impact (how much benefit if solved) and Reach (how many teams/functions are affected).
  2. Multiply the scores to create a simple priority score (Impact × Reach = Priority).
  3. Also estimate Effort (1–5). Prefer high-priority, low-effort pilots for earliest experiments.

Decision guidance

  • Pick one quick win (Priority ≥ 10, Effort ≤ 3) to pilot immediately.
  • Pick one strategic initiative (Priority high, Effort > 3) for phased work or leadership attention.
  • Document expected metrics, owners, and a 4–8 week learning plan for each pilot.
