How do you choose which products or features to ship and which should remain in your backlog? RICE Scores are one way of making a call.

Hinc ceteri particulas arripere conati suam quisque videro voluit afferre sententiam. Quippe: habes enim a rhetoribus; De illis, cum volemus. Mihi enim satis est, ipsis non satis. Sic enim censent, oportunitatis esse beate vivere.Nec vero pietas adversus deos nec quanta iis gratia debeatur sine explicatione naturae intellegi potest. Tum Triarius: Posthac quidem, inquit, audacius. Duo Reges: constructio interrete. Quando enim Socrates, qui parens philosophiae iure dici potest, quicquam tale fecit? Tu quidem reddes; Quid est enim aliud esse versutum? Cupiditates non Epicuri divisione finiebat, sed sua satietate. Universa enim illorum ratione cum tota vestra confligendum puto. Nihil enim hoc differt.
Cum autem negant ea quicquam ad beatam vitam pertinere, rursus naturam relinquunt. Universa enim illorum ratione cum tota vestra confligendum puto. Et quidem iure fortasse, sed tamen non gravissimum est testimonium multitudinis. Respondent extrema primis, media utrisque, omnia omnibus. Nescio quo modo praetervolavit oratio. Si enim ad populum me vocas, eum. Quid dubitas igitur mutare principia naturae? Haec para/doca illi, nos admirabilia dicamus. Nullis enim partitionibus, nullis definitionibus utuntur ipsique dicunt ea se modo probare, quibus natura tacita adsentiatur. Vitae autem degendae ratio maxime quidem illis placuit quieta.

Ergo instituto veterum, quo etiam Stoici utuntur, hinc capiamus exordium. Cupiditates non Epicuri divisione finiebat, sed sua satietate.
Ergo illi intellegunt quid Epicurus dicat, ego non intellego? Quae cum praeponunt, ut sit aliqua rerum selectio, naturam videntur sequi; Sedulo, inquam, faciam. Duo Reges: constructio interrete. Ita fit beatae vitae domina fortuna, quam Epicurus ait exiguam intervenire sapienti. Quid censes in Latino fore? Eam si varietatem diceres, intellegerem, ut etiam non dicente te intellego;
Nunc omni virtuti vitium contrario nomine opponitur. Bork Non laboro, inquit, de nomine. Uterque enim summo bono fruitur, id est voluptate.
The elements behind RICE are still subjective and potentially influenced by biases, though the ‘confidence’ factor is a positive inclusion in this respect.
The ‘effort’ factor does not consider different values of people hours so, for example, there is no distinction between 1 week of senior developer time which might cost twice as much as 1 week of a junior designer.
Intercom.
The RICE Score was first developed by Intercom as a way to develop product priorities and their original post included this link to a spreadsheet example to establish RICE scores.
RICE scores are typically used by product managers to help prioritise products and product features, similar to the impact effort matrix or kano.
Use the following examples of connected and complementary models to weave RICE score into your broader latticework of mental models. Alternatively, discover your own connections by exploring the category list above.
Connected models:
- Impact effort matrix and kano are alternative prioritisation methods.
- Pareto principle: in establishing the ‘20’ features to deliver the ‘80’ value.
Complementary models:
- Golden circle: to ensure that new products and features are aligned with a deeper direction.
- Lock-in effect: as a potential consideration in relation to impact.Agile methodology: an iterative approach that works well with this form of prioritisation.
- Personas: as a potential tool to explore and establish reach and impact.
- Zawinski’s law: a warning to prioritise and avoid product bloat.
- Agile methodology: an iterative approach typically requiring fast and ongoing prioritisation.
- Minimum viable product: as an approach to cut out unnecessary features in the first instance.
The RICE Scoring model was developed by Intercom and is outlined in some detail in their original post about it here.
