What is RICE Prioritization?
RICE is a prioritization framework that scores each idea by Reach, Impact, Confidence, and Effort, so roadmap decisions are driven by expected value rather than by who argues loudest.
RICE = (Reach × Impact × Confidence) ÷ Effort
How to read your result
- Reach: how many people it affects per period (e.g. per quarter).
- Impact: a fixed scale — 0.25 minimal, 0.5 low, 1 medium, 2 high, 3 massive.
- Confidence: how sure you are, as a percentage, to discount guesswork.
- Effort: person-months of work. Score every request and build the highest numbers first.
Frequently asked questions
What does RICE stand for?
Reach, Impact, Confidence, and Effort — the four factors combined into a single prioritization score.
How is a RICE score calculated?
Multiply Reach by Impact by Confidence (as a decimal), then divide by Effort. Higher scores are higher priority.
